My Painting Practice
- "...I have to do the wrong thing in the right way." Greyson Perry
My style favors bold color, strong surfaces, and my own quirky sense of composition. Each painting demands its own visual language and materials. It is through the act of painting itself, that I figure out what I'm trying to accomplish. There are many unplanned surprises to be uncovered! Over the course of my long career, I have made many paintings, but I am always eager for the next series to emerge.
