-- Process Statement - January 2009 --
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"I am in an exploratory stage in my painting process. Each work seems to come from different tangent degrees separate from the others. The one common thread in my paintings is the use of chroma or my unwillingness to tone it down. Each of these works converges at a crossroad where I can take any direction. I really don't put much intellectual thought into a painting as I paint. I have to work on several paintings at a time so I don't stumble on theoretical jargon which can stumble a true intention. I spent a lifetime developing and working on my interpretative language, style and technique that so as a natural inclination… the work fully represents who I am as an authentic voice…Acapella.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" -- NMB.
