ARTISTIC STATEMENT

I want to make paintings that show the West, not comprehended by faith or theory, but odd and beautiful, delicious to the eye and to the heart.

Between us art-lovers there is a common hope - that a painting can participate in the creation of meaning, and that our understanding of it is a part of that meaning.

Happy trails!
