Artist Statement:
Referring to nature and the Internet, I introduce relationships between foreign imagery and the endemic role of the communicative sub-realities that inform my daily life. The character and destiny of an ethnic or societal group are often determined by its inferior elements, but the rejected and the failed are often the raw material of the nation’s future. Stacking of the inadequate material and sludge, and the build-up of the trivialities of mistakes made with paint and mark-making breed the ethno-societal groups that rule in my worlds.

Artist Statement:
I balance my time teaching with work in the studio. My art combines traditional naturalism, an emphasis on nature and the human form with symbolist imagery and geometric abstraction. I find inspiration and ideas in history, the unknown, physics, and metaphysics.
Some of my favorite artists, people whose work has resonated with me over the years, include Lee Bontecou, Victor Vassarelly, Andy Warhol, and Alex Grey. If I could sum up my philosophy of art in a few sentences… I believe the act of fashioning things from the material world is one of the most primal urges we as humans have. In creation, there is the opportunity to access areas of the human psyche made remote by hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution.
The important thing for me is the making, and I believe that when the artist lets the making taking place instead of trying to control it, beauty can naturally find avenues for spontaneous development.
