statement

When I work on a drawing or a painting, I start with an underlying image or idea that then gets transformed as I continue to add layers, scrape away areas, or incise through the layers, to create a final composition that I could not have imagined at the beginning of the process. My inspiration comes from my travels, conversations, music, and my imagination.
