ARTIST STATEMENT
“As a professional artist for over fifty years, my tendency is to work in a series of paintings devoted to the same subject. I usually begin with an idea or motif from my environment and use that as a point of departure towards abstraction. My preference to work on paper grew out of a desire to become part of the surface and give it a personal history before committing myself to an image. Through specially developed techniques, I utilize the flexibility of paper to achieve an effect of inseparability of image and media.”
