Artist Statement


My art is derived from my interpretation of the world in which I am a part of.  While the subjects may change from one idea to the next I strive to instill a certain emotion that will find its way to the viewer.   Those small moments of true humanity, often buried beneath the inconsequential, is what I hope to capture in my work.  At times the content may seem dark or dismal but Life is not often a neutral experience.  Punctuated by lows as well as highs it is in these delicate moments I believe we find our truest sense of self.  The figure has become an integral part of my process as it possesses an innate ability to communicate with the viewer regardless of where he or she is at that particular place in time.  In this way, the work may take a different tone depending on who stands before it.  To create something that speaks personally to each individual is a goal I hope to one day achieve.
