This work was created by oversized calligraphy brushes. The gesture itself is the subject, while the colors directly respond to Pop art. In choosing the circle, on of the most primordial symbols in the human experience, the work is a direct repudiation to Pop Art's cynicism. This body of work resulted from a conversation with musician friends in Greensboro, NC on a bright Saturday afternoon. We spoke of rhythm and meter, syncopation and discordance. After doing dozens of works on paper, the larger panels emerged.

STATEMENT
I believe we are storytellers by nature. It takes stories to make us human; it takes stories to keep us human. We have always looked to the stars and created heroes and myths, stood before the ocean and interpreted its mysteries to make gods and monsters. I tell stories with gesture and form, surface and texture, in an attempt to convey that same sense of awe and wonder. I want people to find their own meaningfulness in my paintings rather than be concerned about literal meaning. In this way, we are sharing stories; discovering what makes us truly human.
