My paintings are investigations into the dialogue and tensions between opposites: between the curved and the linear, liquidity and solidity, male/female, the natural and the man-made, qualities found both in coastal towns and the shapes of American states. Above all, my paintings explore the different realities of information and imagination, the tensions between what inspires [...]

The paintings and drawings use oil, acrylic and enamel paint [...]
