"I have had a life-long fascination with shapes, textures, contrasts, and relationships. Whether I'm looking at a landscape, a city, or a bowl of fruit, it's the interaction among the forms that I find most exciting. I often begin a piece with a relatively realistic rendering of a subject. I then leave the source material and let the painting itself carry me along. As I paint I do not attempt to imitate some pre-determined reality. I consider each painting an entity in and of itself (its own reality, if you will), the result of this exploration of shapes and relationships. "
