"My process is instinctive and energetic. I have athletic approach which produces an aggressive mark. Using metaphors of elements such as posture, gesture, color, and the nature and characteristics of lines, strokes, and marks as a sort of personal cryptograph to decipher visual information, my work becomes a vehicle for the subconscious. Within this process my focus is to identify and allow authentic markmaking to emerge. Paradigms which surface brush on perceptions of god-concepts, outer space, and of the notion of seprateness inside of community. "
