My work comes to me in a sort of visual dictation. Often, paintings begin as a result of a meditative journaling practice from which a sketch may evolve. I then transfer the sketch onto canvas, blocking in the central image free-handedly. In a further form of meditative painting, I engage the work, dialoguing with the canvas, finding and following emergent form. I am both inspired and informed by the images that desire to be expressed through this medium and practice, as though the work exists on another plane and waits for the listener to make it known
