important to just get to see what was possible. No one was looking, no shows, no due dates and a new home and studio in a new part of town. It has been liberating. I’ve always felt good work was somewhat like a time machine. It opened up one’s past body of work to new interpretations and significance and claimed new territory for the future. I now have access to my own history with a renewed understanding of it’s original content and a deepening understanding of how these images can continue to speak for me in paint. As a mature artist I find I have this large vocabulary to draw from. Imagery found a decade ago but never fully realized is now available and malleable. I have also found the ability to speak to everyday experiences, tell stories and paint about

current events that is liberating. Even art history looks different to me as I see my concerns expressed in a whole new set of artists and even old ‘friends’ offer new gifts.

I’ve stated that my paintings are a personal odyssey, a vehicle to carry me forward and find some deeper unity in what is happening in and around me. I hope now too that others may find a shared experience in viewing my work that is more easily accessible. I believe the making of a painting needs that moment of epiphany and a trace of how the imagery conveyed thru paint was discovered and experienced by the artist. Not a graphic notation of the language of experience but the mystery of it.
