It is essential for me to work directly from life. For the past fifteen years the subject has been the interior of my studio and a collection of bottles 
and jars filled with beautiful liquids.  One might expect this narrow subject matter to be limiting. On the contrary, the exercise allows me to 
uncover a seemingly boundless reserve of compositions, colors, and surfaces.

The history of each image is often visible in the traces of grid lines or the ghosts of objects I reposition.  
The viewer has a sense of observing the painting's progression in this way, as if working through the 
compositional puzzle along with me. Process is paramount, and my paintings and drawings
are more investigations or studies of an object than polished final products
