Best advice you’ve been given‘’Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” (paraphrased from Oscar Wilde)

Goals/AspirationsTo get out of my own way so what comes through is an honest record of the moment.

Favorite artistI fell in love with Francis Bacon's drawings at the Gate Theater in Dublin- like them more than his paintings. He and Giacometti are now my two favorites for drawing...into drawing right now I guess. It always changes.

What are you readingLooking for a new book.....

Hope to learn how to Speak Spanish

You spend a lot of time thinking aboutWhat’s next - aka, the emerging future

Favorite musical artistI listen to a lot of Brazilian and French music in the studio - I like café music that is melodic and meaningless (I don’t speak Portuguese or French)

What do you do when not creating art Thinking about making art

I use a variety of media to explore the ways we humans record the experience of being alive. I like paper because of the way it holds memory, from printed words to stains and creases. Each work on paper is unique. Ink, paint, graphite, ephemera, and text, converge in what appear as urgent records of discovery, inviting the mind to wonder, searching the fringe of consciousness for a narrative thread.
