All of my work grows out of the act of drawing. From hundreds of
small line drawings I choose images to be enlarged into paintings, or I may choose to work directly from life.
Through
the combination of fantasy and autobiography, I set out to create works that are both plausible and humorous. Every
painting on canvas starts out as a line drawing in pthalo blue because I associate this color with the intimacy and spontaneity
of some of my small drawings done in ball point pen.
