"My work as a figurative painter arises from a deep
and abiding sense of isolation and detachment. Although
representational, my paintings are not intended to depict specific
people, events, or circumstances. Instead, they retain an element of
calculated ambiguity which heightens the mystery of the pictures and
precludes them from being pinpointed to a specific time, place, or
situation. My paintings, while "realistic," are not simply depictions
of recognizable imagery, but are carefully-arranged formal
constructions or "ordered systems" in which all the pictorial elements
are deliberately designed to satisfy my own sense of balance and
harmony."
