"I mostly paint clutter. I like how
objects cluster together on tabletops, in
kitchen drawers, on my printer, etc. I try
to take a documentary approach to the subject
by painting things as I find them. Or, sometimes,
I'll just pile up a bunch of old tins and
cigar boxes in a haphazard way until something
interesting happens."

Artist's Statement
/ Bio
I became serious about making art in the
late 1980's, which eventually lead to
a BFA degree from the San Francisco Academy
of Art. After art school, I got a job
painting murals for a commercial art studio
in the Bay Area. This was fine at first,
but I gradually became frustrated with
painting someone else's stuff all the
time and feeling too tired to paint my
own. I finally left the studio in 1995,
swearing that I would never work for a
paycheck again. I've been painting full-time
ever since.
I see painting as an intuitive and sensorial
process of balancing pictorial elements
to reveal the poetry of color and form
in the everyday objects around me.
