My paintings communicate a state of controlled chaos as I
combine two divergent forces and approaches: realism and
abstract expression. Through a proficient handling of light,
a mastery of images, and a skillful mark-making method,
the paintings confer an illusion of reality on something that’s
not real. The end result occupies a space between magic and
illusion rooted in the American realist tradition. My painting
philosophy is art is magic, and the magic is illusion.
