I have chosen a radical new direction for new work.  My previously muscular, vigorously chromatic, and heavily layered paintings have evolved in the direction of the spare, the muted, and the geometric. Using unprimed canvas and linen into which the paint soaks, as well as floats above, I am taking a new measured and mathematical approach in which the neutral palette compliments natural linen; the intentional shapes and less intentional color masses speak to decisively black lines.

Juxtaposing the large with the small, line with color, square with circle, intuitive with cerebral, I have tried to construct a new world of inventive and playful, but always purposeful, content.
