Oil Painter

Due to the possibilities of imagination and the versatility of the medium, to me painting can be meant for so much more than mere depictions of reality. Intuition I think taps into something higher, something more meaningful yet inexplicable. 

With this in mind, I would like to make paintings like waking dreams in which logic and decipherable narrative are abandoned, leaving only qualities and spaces for thought and feeling.  This non-narrative approach to painting has been a common thread in my work since I began oil painting in the early 1990s.  

In light of a recent and liberating technical breakthrough, I envision a far more prolific period ahead in which I can explore with greater freedom the possibilities of paintings that arise from personal visions and concepts that are largely unbounded by analytical thought whilst also embracing oil paint as a magnetic and embodying substance in its own right.
