“My work process is part mad scientist and part shaman. I read about physics, space and metaphysics and use that in my work. My method includes using gravity, evaporation, pigment and water. While I work, I use meditation methods to control the chaos. Somewhat like surfing, I use nature's energy to move along and not panic. This is done while it’s wet. (I call my method natural painting).

My series, Buddha's Dust highlights the importance of knowing when to stop and move on. As the saying goes "There are no mistakes, it's only Buddha dust." My work space is calm and light and at the same time entirely messy. It's akin to the contradictions of chaos and control in my work habits.”
