Artist Statement:
My attitude towards art making is definitely more intuitive than intellectual. The paintings often portray a rural narrative and are definitely working class in attitude. It is regional and hopeful that the idea of local is universal. I am now a vetern of my form and one who keeps finding excuses to make paintings.
