My work involves an intuitive and energetic exploration of form, color, line and juxtaposition.


This exploration involves ritualistic processes as well as scientific inquiry, chance and humor.

I am particularly interested in the tensions developed within multiple levels of concurrently occurring natural systems,  processes and how we are affected by them. This especially includes patterns found in erosion and growth.


I believe that the study of these highly complex sublimely ordered logical processes may serve to inform science and spirituality providing deeper insight into the mysteries  of life and our place in the universe.


Within this perspective, paint becomes more than just another medium, for me it is an alchemical sacrament.
