My work springs from the touch and smell of Texas earth. Animals. Antlers. Rocks. Bones. Figurative shapes dissolve into abstraction. Horses wrench from a black abyss. Dark human forms with antlers emerge like primal phantoms. A hoof plants firmly in rich, red soil.

These are the images conjured from my childhood. Like a tribal drum, the rhythm of the earth beats in me and reverberates in my paintings. I am an expressionist. I paint the images reflected in the bonfire of my youth.
