"My small scale paintings develop from still life and landscape observations. The organic textural surface of the paint integrates the objective description, spatial invention, and color with the subjective: intimacy, memory, and personal symbol. All of the paintings in this portfolio are based on garden flowers and vegetables I've grown, natural found objects, and cuts of meat. I've rendered the subjects so that they have become icons, abstracted landscapes, and metaphors for portraits or intimate interiors."
