I think people are hungry for beauty, for images that can feed and nourish them.  I know I need it.  Paintings I return to again and again always do this for me.  I think art can be  a source of strength, hope and even optimism.  My work is about ever-expanding possibilities of this nourishment and its potential of heightened life - of what we already understand, and what exists that we haven’t grasped yet- but has grasped us.
