My work derives its imagery from the accumulation of strands or veins that recall the weft and warp of existence. Time and space and color are part of the material of this fabric.

These paintings grew from previous work which articulated aerial images of urban grids and windows of meditation.

The desert landscape has worked itself into the imagery. Stratified rocks near Joshua Tree National Park have replaced the urban settings. The newer work is based on the powerful forces that have built this landscape, its layers and layers created over vast periods of time by rock and sand and color…in places worn by desert flash floods and elsewhere jumbled by earthquake faults.

The dense population of lines in my work reflects an inner environment as well. Waves emerge in heaped-up strings of consciousness, form, feelings, habits, and thoughts. Muscles, bones, energies, emotions and color are also present. They seemingly arise from nowhere, come into being, gaining mass and momentum, and, then, dissipate. They accumulate, gather and strengthen, bit by bit to form energy waves or particles.

This imagery is inspired by meditative practice and the natural environment, and these influences have coalesced in profound ways.
