My paintings are created out of need to express thoughts, feelings and experiences. Houses and churches grounded in the landscape are the vehicles for developing a visual vocabulary. The unnatural color, exaggerated shapes and distorted space emphasize that the paintings are products of feelings and memory. The paintings develop intuitively through a process involving layers of charcoal, oil paint and oil sticks. As a result of painting the same theme repeatedly the subjects have become personal icons.
