"Like the vanishing Great Plains, my aesthetics lend to simple forms in
conjunction with an agitated surface. The most alluring component is color. I
find a pleasing, meditative quality from the rhythm of difference and
repetition, a subtle tension created by an integration of structure & the
unplanned."
