Through gestural markings, minimalist coloring and the written word, I seek to reflect an immediate recognition of the human condition. Obscuring the symbols of language within the painting field, increasing or decreasing light, and finding a path to demystify internal chaos, creates release and relativity on a two-dimensional plane. Despair, joy, fear, desire and truth most ardently carry me through the painting process and the endless search for order and grace.
