I paint to explore, mostly imaginary realms that appear to me while I am in the act of painting.
I am a "process" painter, reacting to what I see in real time as the paintings progress.
Painting is something of a mystical endeavor for me.
I never know what is about to happen.
I want, when possible, for my entity to step aside and allow the universe to move through me to paint the paintings.
On a good day, the painting paints itself.
