"[The work features an] unassuming and sparing style that dares reduce the infinite palette of colors and textures sometimes even to a minimalist selection of grays and of volumes that very rarely swell into the third dimension… all in all conforming a composition of apparently whimsical tracings that quickly reveal themselves as the contours of some intangible boundaries… There is movement here but stripped to its primeval grammar, a grammar that can transcend language… or a cartography conceived not simply to represent a topography but surprisingly to the discovery (or the invention) of a uniquely personal territory..."

Seep Series #1: "Ophelia" Acrylic on canvas 30" x 40" 2021
The imperfect lines of the natural world and the similar negative spaces they create
in water, rock and asphalt are the subject of this series of paintings.
The stresses of moving landmasses, and attempts to hold them together;
the earth’s crust breaking apart above pulsating lava;
foam salt sheets moving in bodies on the water’s surface;
these phenomena inform my work and become design elements in paintings which
do not attempt to replicate nature,
but rather, to appreciate the common patterns and effects of gravity on this planet.
