Each time I create an art object or performance it is an opportunity to meditate, to breath and to explore perception. In Buddhism it is often stated that everything is inherently empty or that an object is not really there as we believe it to be. Through a life of art I can explore this very literally, as what I perceive disintegrates and shifts to only values, hues, chroma, movements, etc. It is an opportunity to remove labels from my experience for a time and create something tangible that asks "What was that?"

My paintings provide an opportunity to pause and monotask on one moment, one movement, one stroke. That moment of rest and acceptance can be renewed each day and carried forward.
