My painting practice comes from a sense of urgency and necessity. Although I find it difficult to give meaning to that which is purely an expression, I will describe how I interpret and understand my own work, primarily as a spiritual practice of self alchemy. 

     The initial impulse for me is to activate and animate the static space of the canvas.
I work flat on a knee high surface, which allows me to circumnavigate the area, and work from all sides. 

Over the last several years, I have evolved my processes of applying paint; pouring, throwing, splattering, and brushing, in an attempt to realize my authentic self within the algorithm of abstract expressionism and abstract impressionism. Each painting is a ritualistic event that takes place in the course of one session, 

wet into wet, spontaneous, immediate, and arbitrary. This method allows me to have a certain freedom and liberation, with an intuitive awareness of surface energy, creating an organic phenomena involving energy, density, compression, expansion, complexity, and diversity. 

    The resulting emotional field acts as mirror to the viewer's own conscious awareness, in a non dualistic subject/object experience that can elicit a sense of ecstasy, bliss, immediacy, wholenes, aliveness or all-at-once-ness. Ultimately, I feel that the language of my work operates within a morphogenetic field of infinite potential and possibility, always ephemeral.
