I build the surface of a painting over time, letting the subject evolve and change until I find a clarity, balance or an answer.

When my son was little we would go for walks and mark off a square foot in the ground and discover the world that lived in that square. Painting is a similar process for me - a discovery process that plays with the intersection of real, remembered and imagined. Most of my work happens in the studio inspired by a memory, sketch or photograph. From there I explore, invent, conceal and reinvent until the painting settles into itself.
