“Painting is my sensual response to the world, a time-release recording of the sounds, smells, and intensity of a moment. I create rules, as a foundation for the structure. The work is layered, incised, inlaid, and scraped; lines cut into the surface, either sharp or blurred, feeling alternately vulnerable and impenetrable. Always having my hands touch the surface feels essential. Along with its sensuous lushness, wax allows an immediacy and level of control.”
