I work intuitively. Responding to images I create with paint and other materials is a spontaneous act and it simulates the process of my own perceptions. I combine gestural abstraction with mechanical reproduction to emphasize the sensual process of painting and the objective images the camera produces.

I use photography as a reference point to evoke a sense of the familiar to which a viewer can relate. These photos are often deconstructed to become formal elements of color and line. Repetition of lines throughout the artwork produces a systematic order that quiets the surrounding unruliness of paint. Although there are recognizable images in my artwork, I use abstraction to transform objective images into a sensorial experience. The reflective surfaces employed mirror proximate areas and are altered depending on where the viewer stands and lighting conditions at that moment.
