"I was a writer before becoming a painter, but I drew as many pictures in the margins as words on the page. Painting liberated me from a linear narrative structure. Frankly, some stories have no ending; others have many.

Most of my paintings are allegories for personal, political, cultural and moral questions I have regarding our time on earth. In the aerial series of paintings, I distance myself to see if there's a pattern as to why people converge or disperse. In other paintings I submerge myself below the surface to explore the underbelly that is my imagination. Often I employ symbols to communicate larger issues. Houses allude to physical, emotional and political security. Telephone poles signal a form of communication going the way of the dinosaur. In all my paintings, I like to tell just enough of the story that the viewer makes up the ending."
