Artist's Statement

My interest in abstract painting comes along with an investigation into what abstract painting can be; I have some ideas that I rely on: an awareness of what colors might convey, a sense of form and composition, recognition of line versus form, how semiotics can change meaning. I start out with these ideas but often wander into new territory in search of more basic means of communication.
