"I'm often asked what kind of painter I am. Figurative, abstract, small, large, digital, botanical, surrealist, mural... I just say yes to all of it. When I began working on this show, I felt the now familiar hunger for a new experience of painting, for the excitement and surprise of a fresh direction. I smiled when the first painting I finished said "Automatic Yes" in large letters. So, I took it from there, playfully, not recklessly, intentionally being open to whatever kind of painter I might be. I followed the chain of ideas, reacting with an automatic yes at every turn."
