Painting for me, is one's ability to capture the essence of a subject’s energy through the application of media.  When I view a painting, I scrutinize the marks and line quality that acquiesce to form a finished piece.  I specifically enjoy designing the structure of my paintings and I feel that my work reflects this.  I feel that the most intriguing aspect of painting is the ability of a single line to possess an extraordinarily large amount of expressive qualities. 

            I appreciate active paintings and thus incorporate a high level of energy in my work; due to this fact, my painting process is done at a fast pace.  I believe that in my ability to paint quickly I can efficiently express the energetic look that I so desire and respect. The method in which I paint differs from subject to subject.  I enjoy seeing variety in how paintings are executed.  My work is representational with abstract qualities.  I paint from both life and from photography; however, painting from life is my passion.  Live painting is liberating and I find that more variation tends to occur.
