My artwork is involved with the act of mark making and how the mark in its abstract nature is able to communicate and transcend to evoke both the tangible and the ineffable. My paintings are multi-layered compositions of marks, gestures, and brushstrokes that are both literal and suggestive. This layering results in an overlap of the abstract, the nonobjective, the representational, the referential, and the evocative. The combination of obsessive brushwork, complex layering and highly active relationships between elements across and within the paintings results in a strong optical resonance.
