Artist Statement My art attempts to reveal, unedited, the inner workings of my emotions expressively without forethought or thinking during the action painting. Many inadvertent subjects, from the cosmos to insects, from Greek history to deep ocean plankton come to life freely in colors and shapes that have been refined through 32 years of practice. The motion is too quick to predict what will appear on the canvas. Each viewer should make up their own narrative, which is why most pieces are numbered, not named. The recent works have seen a resurgent female praying mantis, either playing a Haegum or in ecstasy after mating and eating the head of her partner.
