“I work in a small studio in Southeast Portland, usually with rain on the skylight. For six years I tended trees at a bonsai nursery, and pruning taught me that removing things is most of the work. My paintings start with a wide field of warm white, then a few brushed marks in ink grey or clay, set down quickly and never reworked.”
