I paint what I love. One day all of what we love and cherish, all that we despise and hate, and even that which we ignore and cannot understand will disappear from this earth. We can do nothing to change this, no trace can be meaningfully preserved, no remnant will remain. In the face of disintegration and dissolution we can only say – yes. Yes, to being here now; yes, to sharing this time with all that is now here; yes, to experiencing the painful and poignant beauty of the transient. This is the subject of my work.
