Some thoughts on my approach to paintng...Just crazy talk really, but if you get it, that's great!
It is all about EXPERIENCE in all its aspects.
…..When viewing my paintings it is important to understand that each finished piece is an expression of the actual experience of painting. The processes of mixing, dripping, brushing, scraping, scratching, rubbing, masking and spraying materials lead to the creation of an experience. The experience of looking, feeling, painting, stepping back, thinking, reacting, then painting some more is altered by phases of excitement, anger, happiness, frustration, pride and satisfaction inherent in the act of painting. The act of painting, as difficult and frustrating as it can sometimes be, is also a very spiritual and fulfilling one. This experience of anything, or everything, is what I want to share with the viewer. It is my hope and ideal to create an opportunity for people to immerse themselves into my work and be able to make it their own….
