Statement:
Aesthetically, I'm drawn to accident. I prefer to paint outside because I don't like to impose order or arrangement--I would rather stumble upon it, making discoveries. Similarly, the best things with paint seem to happen when I don't think too much. I'm always in pursuit of being surprised, of seeing things in a painting that have happened when I wasn't really paying attention. And I want to celebrate nature. With all the pressure on the natural world, it seems imperative to sing its praises, full voice. For me its beauty helps to make life worth living, as does art.
To experience nature is thrilling—the movement, the shadows, the play of light—it’s a whirlwind of sensation. My sense is that it’s not enough to take the elements of a scene and copy them. Better to respond with emotion and invention, to try to meet the unfolding drama and flux with the movement of your brush, your half-complete impressions, choice of color, choice of mark, etc. It’s the only way to match wits with nature—to make a painting come even close to being as exciting as nature itself.
