In my work there is a constant sparring between intention and random chance. The happiest accidents occur when one lets go of limiting expectations and allows intuition and imperfection to guide the process. When there is a predetermined outcome in mind there is less chance of serendipity so I try to avoid overthinking. This piece marks my first formal use of spray paint in my work. The beautiful thing about spray paint for me is that it removes my hand from the painting. The hand can make a gesture but it's up to the paint to make the mark. This one degree of separation is a huge relief and release. It liberates me from the controlling part of my brain and lets wonder back in. That final spraying mark is a leap of faith.

I make abstract paintings. Many of them are monochromatic color field pieces. Some of them are made using a brighter louder palette and some are quieter and neutral. My process can best be described as playful exploration in search of deeper connection. I work intuitively, intertwining properties of form, color and light into various arrangements that are intended to elicit an emotional resonance in the viewer. The work spans a range of emotions from quiet reflection to exuberant joy. In my quest to connect I use a variety of techniques and media. I am constantly drawn to experiment with new materials and new compositions. I feel that I am a conduit for my materials. I am in a dance with the paint. There is a slow drag of the brush across the canvas with oil. Waterborne media are faster and more dynamic, interacting with gravity for splashes and drips. I want my subconscious to bypass my ego and drive the work. This is why I paint; to discover something completely unplanned, surprising and beautiful. I studied Art History at Princeton, as well as painting, under Michael David, Harvey Quaytman and Heidi Gluck but particularly under the tutelage of Sean Scully who was my thesis show advisor. I studied Critical Theory under David Shapiro, himself a student of Meyer Shapiro, and and while I thoroughly enjoy a good critical shredding, in the end, art is good if you, the viewer, like it.
