Statement:

On some level, I am always painting.  A walk in the woods, a round of golf (could explain why I'm not better), a conversation with a friend, or just staring out of the window, the door is always open for an idea that inspires the next work.  Once an idea takes shape, the painting is executed with hyper-focused attention to lighting and detail, with every hair in place, every curve, and every glint of shadow exactly as nature demands.  I know the work is going well if, during the process, I lose all sense of time and self.  Painting is just one of many ways to communicate ideas.  Some people express their imaginative thoughts through writing, I paint.
