ARTIST STATEMENT

My Philosophy of Painting

How cautious and careful killed the painter.

For me, what makes a painting truly remarkable is in a moment of intention.

The almost accidental transformational spirit revealed within an

instant that is free of thought and all self-conscious distraction.

Pure action with zero doubt.

A leap of faith and a moment of both clarity and certainty.

Full of magic — and mystical serendipity.
