My painting reflects a line-based language, defined by layers and color combinations. I try to be true of myself while I work on each painting. I believe directness of acting and being is the way to one’s true nature. Zen teaches that we spend years forgetting and abandoning this nature, but that we can always access it again. On a blank canvas, I start by applying a coat of primary color, then composing one line after another, repeatedly, answering the call of intuition. What I create flows directly from embracing the experience of making art.
