"The goal of my
work is to find the moment in life that expresses most clearly an idea,
subject or theme. I feel that moment can be expressed strongly
through realism. Even though in order for a painting to work it
has to have an under-current of abstract power; for that power keeps the
painting fluid until that moment of emotion is right, and then I
tighten up to lock the subject in."
