The act of looking forms the basic conceptual premise
of my painting. It exits as a process of exploration
and discovery as the viewer winds their way through
the (painted) garden of forms. While an overall
organization of each painting develops through the
structure of an assumed grid, an architectural
reference, it is subverted by the profusion of form
permeating the space of the painted surface. This profusion exists as an intricate disorder where ripeness and decay precariously balance. The formal, ordered characteristics establish the tempo of each painting from which color and pattern explode onto the canvas' surface or hesitate in anticipation of an unexpected discovery. Every square inch of the painted surface provides important information for the entire piece. The hierarchies of the painted surface slowly reveal themselves to the viewer.
