When painting, I have often experienced what a Jungian psychologist might call "synchronicity"—or what you might call meaningful coincidence. While some might call my work abstract, such occurrences have led me to describe what I do as psychic realism. Put another way, you might say my art is a knowledge system using "emotion as epistemology," to borrow the phrasing of a 1988 Art Papers review of my work. Or sometimes you could say it is pareidolia, like seeing a face in the clouds.
