For many years, my work has been concerned with the processes of abstraction. Early in my development as an artist, I was suspect of what I thought was the meaningless formalism of abstraction and was drawn instead to a more confessional and narrative style of painting. Despite my suspicions, what interested me then, and continues to, is the space between things; the fragile and accidental meeting of form in space. Once I allowed myself to be lured by the charms of abstraction, I found that it was unnecessary to leave my narrative sensibilities behind. I continue to this day to forge a personal investigation of the self and the physical world with an interest in the formal qualities of space and color.

My work fuses an intuitive approach to nature with the structure and order of scientific inquiry. I am interested in fusing different ways of describing and mapping the world, be it linear and systematic or more intuitive and visual. My work gathers these two approaches, finding a point of reconciliation and collaboration.
