"My work as a figurative painter arises from a deep and abiding sense of isolation and detachment. Although representational, my paintings are not intended to depict specific people, events, or circumstances. Instead, they retain an element of calculated ambiguity which heightens the mystery of the pictures and precludes them from being pinpointed to a specific time, place, or situation. My paintings, while "realistic," are not simply depictions of recognizable imagery, but are carefully-arranged formal constructions or "ordered systems" in which all the pictorial elements are deliberately designed to satisfy my own sense of balance and harmony."
