Stories

Q          Do you have a specific narrative in mind? Your paintings seem like scenes from stories, but it's impossible to know what exactly is going on.  Where do the narratives come from? Do you make them up? Are they complete stories or pieces? When I look at your paintings I always feel they are snapshots from some strange story. 

A          I love story-telling with pictures and I assemble my compositions until it feels like something is happening between the people, things, and place. It's like a movie-still of a single scene, a slice of narrative rather than the whole story, but left open to some interpretation.
            If real-life stories can be subjective, depending on who's telling them, art is all the better for being completed by the imagination of the audience. I don't like pictures where every last thing is spelled out; I prefer a bit of mystery.
