"I like paintings to offer the viewer a place of reflection. Since last summer I have been working on a series of paintings called From the Long Past into the Long Present. These paintings are landscapes, not taken from any specific place, not even a specific time of day, but imaged. I would like for these paintings to summon up the same kind of mental day-dreamedness that happens on long drives, where one is looking at the road but not thinking about the road. The road might imply a journey, but often a 'journey' in less literal terms, perhaps a mulling over, perhaps something deeper.
As for my painting technique, it involves using wet paint on very wet paper. I like what happens when the flow of the water helps to create the painting. I work hard to keep the freshness of the medium intact, the colors clear and un-muddied. And then I strive for a certain kind of rainy atmosphere, a phosphorous light, which is accomplished by the use of the water itself."
