My current paintings are meditations that explore and define time and space through complex fields created by the continuous repetition of narrow and simple marks.  The paintings are created with a tool designed for pin-striping automobiles, which I use to apply relentlessly consistent lines of paint onto subtly textured canvas.

Many of the paintings are comprised of lines of varying colors, which combine to create a visual color experience that is a mixture of their components. Essentially, the colors coalesce in the space that exists between the paintings and the viewer’s eyes.

The paintings are meditations that require intense discipline in order to make individual and unique marks in sufficient quantity to cover an entire canvas. Every mark is a discrete and fluid action that interacts with the surrounding marks to resolve into a gentle, flowing, and moving experience.
