When I describe my work as abstract, it’s because it is
non-representational and originates in my imagination. 


Many of my works are on paper, which I tape to a painting table,
sometimes wetting the paper, and laying down the first strokes of
paint,
each stroke a response or complement to the one before it.
I look to build
up a dynamic structure and a strong form.


There are many analogues to music in my process. I have listened to
much modern jazz in my life, and my work mirrors the improvisation
in jazz. Repeated colors offer a way to produce counterpoint and
to build up a structure
on the page. I am enamored of color and
it is extremely important in my work.


My work, to me, conveys an organic look, which comes from my
lifelong appreciation of nature’s sometimes chaotic beauty.


Many of my paintings suggest landscapes, with some references --
perhaps subconscious — to a sky and a ground. In parallel with nature,
the history of
painting in the 20th century has helped inform my work.
Specifically, Abstract Expressionist painters, like De Kooning, and
colorists,
like Wolf Kahn, have exerted a profound and continuing influence.
