STUDIO
I am often drawn to a visual encounter before fully understanding why. I return to it because painting is where that attraction becomes intelligible.
Standing before the live subject, I work without preliminary drawings or a fixed plan. The composition evolves through the act of painting, where moments of recognition shift the architecture of the work. This allows the work to establish a reality beyond its source.
Paintings that stay with me are those whose forms are painted with such conviction that they take on a presence of their own. That is the quality I pursue.
A painting is finished when it feels inevitable.
