Statement

 My objective in art is to be a voice for the significance of abstraction. Intuitional in method and intrinsic in form, abstraction is still young and vital. I am not so much interested in a hard or soft-edged abstraction as I am in interpreting a transparent abstraction. I see this work as an opening up of a picture which provides the opportunity of seeing what is behind or hidden. The nature of this work is also an analysis of the transcendence in painting through the macro and the micro. When a painting is capable of transporting you to another space, this is timeless.
