30+ years of paintings, talked about one painting at a time: what went into the paintings, what I was trying to say, what was happening at the time of my life that I made the paintings. The paintings themselves are narrative, and this adds a little more to the story that they tell.

untitled abstract 2024
My images consist of two processes: #1: paint an abstract painting #2. form an image on the surface of that painting adhering different materials including, but not limited to, my photographs. This past week I painted 9 paintings that are somewhat different in that they are complete in and of themselves, Which leaves me with some confusion: where is my story and where is that big connection that I make between the painting and the adhered elements? Are these enough? How do I title them? Does the world expect something different from me? Were these just an "accident", and if so, can I do more? If I do form images on top of them, will they be that much more powerful or will the image take away from the paintings? Right now they are sitting in my studio, quietly glowing, and I lay awake at night, not quite sure of what to do.
