I paint to see what my paintings look like, often working on multiple, related series simultaneously. My work is informed by my experience growing up as Gen X and influenced by the AbEx, Color Field, and Pop, whose work I absorbed when spending countless hours at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY, where I grew up.
I use colorful washes of acrylic paint usually on unprimed canvas. My process is intuitive but often inspired by continuing points of interest including portraits of socialites, hippies, dinosaurs, and cheeseburgers. More and more I mix up series. Ideally work from different series should be seen together. "the totality is not, as it were, a mere heap, but the whole is something besides the parts" - Aristotle
