My painting is an alchemic process.  For me, transforming the flat canvas into a three dimensional illusion brings the painting to life.  I work with colors and tones as if through a magnifying glass, analyzing and expanding tiny differences in chromatic values to create radiant color fields.  When solo, the square format asserts a central motion forwards / backwards – when seen in pairs and sequences – there’s a movement that gathers momentum through each painting.

I imagine how light and shadow move across and through surfaces, evoking varying densities and depths of field.  Colors have their own peculiar interactions with each other and I discover their possibilities while creating the painting, continually adjusting the temperature and tonality of both grounds until the foreground reverberates with an illusion of light.

Recently, my work has broadened in scope with sequences of paintings edge to edge, where this light appears to move within a larger frame of reference like the turning of the earth on its axis in relation to the sun or the shifting colors and depths of the Caribbean Sea.  Each painting becomes a moment suspended and amplified in time, offering an experience almost like embodying / feeling light before it moves onto the next moment in the next painting.
