Artist Statement
My art is my life; I create all day every day. The most common questions posed to me are: what is your process, and what does your art stand for? My process goes through many sequences, all of which are challenging and rewarding and confusing. It's not my job to explain my art to the viewer. Sometimes I know what the story is to me, but the viewer may interpret it differently for himself.
My current inspiration comes from working with antique typeface, my ancestor photos, my travels with my work,and my collaborations with other artists. My art changes periodically as I unwrap experiences embedded in my own soul. I hope my paintings simultaneously evoke a conscious, as well as subconscious reaction from the viewer.
