ABOUT THE ARTIST
Artist Statement:
Sameness is identity, and seldom is anything ever the same as anything else. There can only be a relationship when there is difference, and welcoming difference is what life and painting deal with. In this sense I see a painting - like a marriage or a friendship - as a particular relationship that points to the necessity of variation and difference among all creatures and forms in our world.-William T. Oughton
