OBSERVATION IS NOT AN END, BUT A MEANS.

“To see, to perceive is more than to recognize.” -John Dewey, “Art as Experience”

My work is based on acute observation of the immediate world around me. It employs the traditional means of painting in oil (as well as various drawing media) to produce a highly crafted image which, while it might take a relatively long time to evolve, yet aims to evoke a specific, singular, unredeemable experience. This “experience” is meant to be embodied in the abstract, plastic values of the paintings and drawings and is their true subject matter.
