My work unites gestural calligraphic brush movements and the ancient method of “no-mind” Zen brush painting.

The oversized, gestural brush movements seen in my work emerged from a hunger to stretch beyond my former training of traditional Calligraphic letter forms. During a two year quest for self-realization, these gestural brush markings further emerged after an introduction to the ancient “no-mind” method. The fusion of these separate art forms represents my personal style of painting and the process from which I create.

Following the “no-mind”, I step aside intellectually when approaching my work, thus clearing a path to channel creativity and insight. In essence, I become a witness, watching with anticipation as brush movements and color combinations manifest themselves on a blank canvas. This process is my doorway to new dimensions of creativity and greater potential for both canvas and artist.

Oversized brushes and large Sumi mops are used to maneuver high polymer acrylics, enamel and/or Sumi ink across un-stretched canvases on the studio floor. I specialize in site-specific commissions and I’m passionate about painting large scale formats for interior and exterior environments. 

My works can be seen in a growing number of private, corporate and public collections. Studio visits welcomed by appointment.
