I am looking for interacting patterns and shapes, and above all, for some meaning that lies beyond technical ability, beyond brush work.

Painting ​should go deeper than copying nature and things as they are. An interpretation of the thing that's underneath --- what gives it life. Maybe I am trying to paint what cannot be painted.
Atmosphere and light are just the first steps. The painting could be more of a poetic statement than a literal representation? In the end, I am only jotting down simple marks, hoping to tell a story.
Painting is my meditation, my refuge. It exists in a timeless state.
One day I hope to paint something of significance.
