Statement

I am often overwhelmed with things going on around me, with the endless static of this world. I try to ignore it. When something draws my attention it is usually because it is out of place. It has slowed down or is lost.

I wonder how it got there. Why it has stopped moving, stopped keeping pace with everything else. My imagination starts to fill in the story. That’s when I know something has really moved me and that’s when I want to paint it.
