Paintings From 2005 and 2004

“ Once the challenge is gone, I get too comfortable.  So what do I do?  I reach beyond the fear of failure, the unknown, and intellectual insecurity, and pull out something that really scares me.”

My workspace is the work.  It is a progressive installation with variable dimensions consisting of over 150 objects including paintings, color-mixing formulas, palettes, drawings, notes, books, my worktable, and artist’s paints.  It’s an open view of an open mind.  The small space between the pieces makes it difficult to isolate just one and at times it’s overwhelming.  I want the viewer to feel what I feel—consumed by the need to create.
