Been making pictures and words

in one way or another

since 1989.

Lately,

I’ve come through

a threshold

arrived in a new place,

am at home in my self

in a way

I never thought was possible.

I’m 56, and

so curious

for what’s to come.

Right now, I’m mostly making drawings

on the way to paintings

interested in what comes out

from underneath my hand.

I’ve taken the rest of my work down

from this website,

to allow myself to breathe

to let go of what’s come before,

to quietly follow

a sort of silence I notice

inside.

If you’re wanting to see my archive

or have questions about work that’s gone before

email me.
