I work against what is habitual and keep my painting in touch with a sense of limitless potential in a poetic sense: To paint a sphere or a face as if I've never seen one. To make a wholly new thing, never seen before, in the humble medium of egg tempera, acrylic or ink.

My condition of multiple sclerosis is itself a series of well practiced limitations placed on my body, yet within this emerges a new imperative: To take each painting to its own freedom from limits.
