Statement
from the Artist
"Although trained as a painter, I have for some years now been working
mostly in colored pencil on paper. I like the directness of the process,
and the degree of precision and control it affords.
Learning to paint or draw is, as much anything else, about learning to see. Most of these images derive from very mundane objects one might find anywhere. I'm interested in the ambiguity achieved by looking at a familiar or very ordinary thing in a new way, and in the somewhat uneasy place between realism and abstraction."
