I call my current series
"Snapshots of the Phenomenal
World." Each painting begins
with a practice of mindfulness
and is driven by spontaneous,
now-centered mark-making and
layering. Within the dialog, I
respond to emerging imagery,
moment-by-moment, sometimes
painting with the artist's hand
and brush, but just as often
allowing outside forces like
gravity and erosion to play
fundamental roles in the
emergence of form and pattern.
Within this dance of discovery, I
may begin to carve or erode
what has come to exist. I am
following trails of creation and
destruction and recreation of
form. The individual character of
each piece literally evolves over
time as the original ground,
ingredients and actions become
an entity
