Painting the world around me in one sense is merely a vehicle.
A way of entering that particular arena of plastic expression where
feelings and sensations mingle. Much like my abstractionist friends,
my effort is to give the work some kind of autonomy. Yet I am interested
in how part of oneself may be 'reflected in' or 'echoed back' by
the environment. I like the notion that popular music is the soundtrack
to our lives and the world we inhabit the backdrop.
