About

I begin almost every piece without trying to create a specific image. I attempt to forget what I know until I discover a theme to pursue or until it resembles my vision or mood. Starting a piece without knowing the outcome keeps the work honest. I work until the painting seems to breathe on its own.

Redefining Cubism (detail) by Ron Braverman

All of my paintings tell stories. Many stories are basic narratives other are metaphors, some are symbolic. For inspiration, I'll often open a half dozen books of my favorite painters like Klee and Deibenkorn. Sometimes I'll listen to podcasts for inspiration, sometimes I'll just relax and listen to my intuition.
