“The painter, the artist’s studio and the
act of painting itself are often the subject of the work. Autobiographical
references are filtered through an instinctive selection process. Driven by a
desire to make the fleeting and the fugitive permanent and immovable, my
paintings are abstractions of these experiences.”
“The use of newspaper clippings provides a very flat
spatial field, recalling certain trompe l’oeil 17th century still life
painting. Obituaries condense a life into a few column inches and a single
image – a scrap of newsprint that becomes a heavy token, a memento, even an
icon, when rendered in paint.”
