My new work is focused on the process. It is an act of creation and destruction and creation again. this process is repeated until the painting becomes stronger than in its original paper form.i like to refer to them at this point as objects. I use found images and my own personal photographs like words in a story or poem . These seemingly unrelated images ultimately create a narrative that can be bleak, but often contain humorous and unexpected elements. My subject matter is autobiographical and based on my own observations and experiences but without excluding viewer, the end results tend to have a universal appeal.
