“Having an artistic practice requires that one will not only reflect on life, but also use artistic media, means, skills and conventions to create a metaphor for life. My interest lies in the expressive force of mark making.

In the time that has elapsed since my childhood on Shelter Island, my life has grown profoundly. I have been given such a wealth of experiences and influences on which to reflect, and therefore use them to create that metaphor. Art, like music, does not rely on narrative for its meaning.”
