“Oil painting is where everything really started in terms of my painting. There is a sense of history and tradition behind it that has appealed to me since my very first starts in painting. How to use to the medium at all seemed like an endless mystery to decipher. Although not as active in oils as I used to be, my intention is always come back to it as a medium.

I like the weight and sense of physicality that comes through in oil painting, the ability to layer and remove; that constant back and forth between addition and erasure.”
