The paintings arrive through consideration of the land of my upbringing and the forms and ideas that reform that land.  Like the land, it is reformed, reordered, and refined.  The paintings are viewed through layers of highly sanded, translucent surfaces that conceal and reveal a struggle with beauty, faith, and significance.
