Regardless of the initial inspiration for a particular piece — a distant memory, the sting of one of life’s little ironies, a spiritual yearning, or an unexplainable enchantment with some ordinary object — I invariably find myself on a quest to find meaning in the simple trappings of everyday existence.

My 2008 piece, A Meditation on the Stations of the Cross, was five years in the making. It reawakened my interest in series of images, a concern I have ported on my current exploration of egg tempera--a medium which I have admired and wished to pursue since art school days.
