Artist Statement

My most recent body of work is devoted to fleeting moments of discovery guided by illumination. Each image is loosely based on photographs of situations in which light transforms a scene, object or surface into something entirely new. In my daily life I am constantly taking record of these moments, since I know I will never see them again.  When I set out to paint these images, it is in part to re-experience them, and also to give evidence that they really happened.
