About the Palimpsests Series:  I see these paintings as excerpts

from stories, pages torn from books that have not yet been written.

These fragments are populated by people engaged in activities

of looking, eyes peering, fingers reaching out to touch. The

paintings themselves are using their senses to try and

understand, searching for meaning in the worlds they find

themselves in. In this way they are self-referential, talking

back and forth with each other to accomplish this goal.

For me the subject and the process of making the work

are the same. As I search as an artist, culling from the

images and experiences of my life, the paintings search

through their own images looking for meaning in the mash up.
