I usually conceive the idea for a painting during the process of creating the painting. Sometimes I begin by filling the canvas with color and seeing what shapes appear from my brushstrokes.  Other times I start by drawing random lines. I try to let my senses find what the canvas has to say. If I have a definite idea of what kind of world I want to create, it generally changes during the making of it. 

I like to combine opaque and transparent glazes to give depth and interest to my paintings. I enjoy working with the idea of creating an illusion of something beyond the surface. The painting becomes successful to me if I am able to obtain an emotional response and a sense of mystery that provokes a closer look.
