"I paint the things I dare not put into words.  In the act of painting, I can be allusive.  I can show without telling.  I simultaneously hide and reveal.  At this day and age, we expect to grasp meaning from a cursory stare, but bright colors and pretty images can be deceiving.  If the viewer only throws a glance at one of my paintings, he will get a decorative facade.   In order to see what is really going on, she needs to look beyond the surface.  I'm interested in the little secrets that are whispered in dark corners."
