I'm drawn to the potential for expressing the luminosity I perceive in certain forms. My studio is cluttered with all kinds of things I have collected that seem to hold the possibility of expressing more than what they are.

​

I pick certain items and move them about and fiddle with the light source and move them some more. When I think my arrangement is "there" , I paint it

​

I paint in a very traditional way, under painting in monotones to set the values and applying layers of velaturas and transparant glazes. The tricky part is to keep my vision in tact, and the trickiest part is knowing when to stop.
