Artist Statement

My primary objective is to create art that resonates with the world we inhabit, expressing profound insights into contemporary issues and fostering a diverse tapestry of human connections.

I am particularly drawn to contrasts, such as light and shadow, color and tones, and attraction and aversion. I use meaningful visual contexts to explore shifting emotions and ideas through my art and poetry.

Engaging abstract images serve as contemplative and meditative visual stimuli, encouraging internal dialogue and reflection. 

VISUAL THEMES INCLUDE:

The “Geometrics One & Two" series mix, match and re-envision existing and personal images, which create a new visual/structural relationship. 

"Metro Melts” and my “Heatwave” series abstract three existing buildings and other elements, creating a lyrical and sensuous beauty in their melding. 

My “Operative Oppositions” series juxtapose the arts and vulnerability with warfare. I ask the viewer to take in the entirety. Deconstruct and ponder images, which can be disturbing and ultimately constructive.

The “Walls” images communicate protectionism with hopes and fears. I will leave their interpretation up to the viewer. Note a similar concept coming into Berk’s “Global” series as well.

The “Stumped” series takes a dead tree trunk and explores where it might have been and what it may have experienced. This imaginative and amusing series illustrates the concept that inner tree rings have logged-in history. 

Thank you for considering the images on my website.
