Artist Statement:

Why do you draw in your paintings?

Drawing is intrinsic to painting. I do not make preparatory sketches. I draw within the works. I am a romantic. My paintings are resolved when the conflict between instinct and “institutionalism” reconcile in peace, no compromise. I repudiate all ideas of ground, depth, and form turning my back on formalism. Painting cannot escape painting, but my romanticism leads to conclusion without script.
