	Artist Bio +

I'm fascinated by old walls, detritus, and the monochrome. So, in my paintings, I begin there, applying layer upon layer of acrylic paint - typically with painting knives - then sanding, scraping, scratching, scrubbing, moving from the monochrome to variations on that theme. As I apply paint, I spray the surface with water, thereby adding the element of chance to the mix. In my sculptures, most of which are figurative, I try to portray the essence of a subject using a minimum of fragments. I like the work of Huma Bhabha, Ron Ehrlich, Stephen De Staebler, Alberto Giacometti, Bernd Haussmann, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, Robert Ryman, Xavier Toubes, and Cy Twombly.
