I really don't see myself as an artist who paints from the imagination. My imagination serves as a discipline that I find during the process of painting. My gut says that I have 20% of the content of the paintings loosely in existence and the rest will come purely by setting up 20% down and discovering what must follow after that. The forces around us hide and deliver all the clues necessary for creating work. The true work is in the stillness to be receptive to what those images and clues mean. To what I must paint.

I have had so much faith in listening to others, learning from others and discovering other people who have done this before me, whether I’ve met them or not. I channel them and sew threads around what they have seen and experienced. As a result I am able to tap into what's already there and ideas formulate. Simply put, the work exists in the dreamworld until it is set to this time and space by my own choices of materials, time committed and instinct trusted.
