In my work Abstract Expressionist painting meets Pop culture. While I am interested in painting as an abstract and literal object, I love the ambiguous space that is created when brushstrokes meet a flat printed surface. I want the viewer to see all previous decisions or pedimento. My collage material is not random, but meaningful, either through association, memory, or design. At times the images take a secondary position to the paint handling, and at other times a more prominent one. This process of combining paint and collage can be very rich, providing expression for a variety of states of mind. Titles are taken from text that happens to appear in the collage.
