I work in oil on canvas or graphite and watercolor on paper. My unconscious communicates to me through my images, sometimes through the use of metaphor, each stroke communicating a feeling, an intention, or hidden relationship. I am compelled to make this color choice or scrawl that personality of line or texture, drawn to this imagery or that relationship between things, perhaps depicting tension or conflict. The insight I gain as I work through a piece is personal and, often, transformative. Along with the visual work, I sometimes write what I call “companion writing” which couples with the image.
