Larkin Green Studio Sumi-e painting was a turning point for my work. In Sumi-e you focus on the process. When I paint my intent is to let each mark of my brush meets the canvas as an extension of my state of mind. My over-arching vision is to create paintings that are academically informed, yet fresh and immediate. The canvas is planned compositionally and the final layers of paint are laid on asI bring my vision into focus.

As a painter, I see myself ultimately as a symbolic painter. My goal is to effectively work with cool and warm colors and yin yang symbols that invite the viewer to stop and contemplate.
