Quote

I moved to Chicago and began attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The students and teachers I met in Chicago were politically active and also passionate about the same things that I was interested in. It was a great match for me.

Only at the end of the last stroke of paint, you can begin to wonder what needs to be done next.

I have, and do sometimes, work with other media. But there is something about the physical activity and the directness of painting that I find fascinating. I am very attracted to the materiality of paintings and the visual phenomena of hue and value.

I am very invested in the physical activity and the decision-making that is involved with making paintings - nothing else is quite like it.

I'm interested in how paintings can change or transform - sometimes through close examination or viewed from afar or how they hold the space of a wall or interact in a room with each other.

I enjoy thinking about how paintings can change depending on where they are - how they look in a gallery or in relation to other paintings, or in different rooms. Paintings can change the way we experience and see the world.

In the late 60's I was enrolled at Occidental College majoring in philosophy and taking several studio art classes, but I dropped out. It was a very confusing time with the war in Vietnam and the social changes sweeping the nation.
