Non-Objective Abstracts
As for myself, my style has changed over the past 30 years and currently has settled into abstracts. The reason abstract painting has ended up making sense to me was simply if I paint long enough, I finally get to the point where I realize I'm involved with something that doesn't serve any language. Instead it becomes a big concept of how much and how little I can paint into each painting. It reminds me of something I heard: "A French woman gets completely dressed and then removes one thing." The concept intrigues me. It's about restraint, about how much is enough to reveal your intentions, your meaning. Abstract painting is not worth looking at unless it has that higher road of meaning and clearly communicates the artist's intentions and to do it with removing one thing.

Abstract Figurative
Show Statement for: "Made You Look"
These narrative images were inspired by my sweetest memories, sexiest dreams and haunting desires. If you think you are in my paintings then you are. Each painting represents my personal theme of unpublished memoirs with my closest friends. I rewrote and replaced my stories with icons which represent and interpret secret lovers in public places. As an artist, I am in awe how all this life-stuff emerges from the energy of color and brush marks. Though after awhile, the brush does not work for me so I finish each painting with only my fingers. Sliding over the lubricious paint, my hand and fingers smooth out memories and dreams into my private stories The subject matter pours out from my heart. My heart is the only thing I truly know. The meaning to my work is to be richly elusive with a range of different readings for the viewers without giving away much more than that. Do you see yourself in my paintings? Made you look.
