My purpose is to continue the tradition of such painters of the sublime as Ad Reinhardt, Agnes Martin, and Mark Rothko whose images or non-images demand contemplative time to be fully appreciated and absorbed.

I have worked at developing a technique in which color and light seem to emanate from within the picture surface then vibrate and hover in front of the canvas when viewed at a distance. As the viewer approaches to examine the radiating color, it progressively retreats into the canvas not to be found at close inspection.

The veil between what is known on one side and that which is not known on the other becomes, as an unknown Christian mystic put it, a loud of the unknowing which is sought by the committed viewer.
