FLYING SOLO: NO PARACHUTE A leap of faith into the vacuum of a blank canvas starts the process. The freewheeling gesture may utilize a paint-loaded brush or linear marks made with charcoal or oil paint sticks. Actions are met with intuitive reactions. The dialogue is unfettered, which often leads into unexpected territory. I find fulfillment in reordering chaos into a balance with some degree of tension. My paintings are about the journey, filled with turns, twists, pitfalls, revelations and surprises. |
