Artist Statement

I have decided to put together this website to look back at my body of work and inspire me to keep creating. I have also included experimental thoughts, photos of friends, and contact information. Experimental thoughts to help expand my horizons. Photos of friends to remind me of my influences. As well as my contact information to discuss my ideas with anybody that might be interested.

I am fascinated by shape, form, and negative and positive space that is released by my subconscious mind on to the canvas. These are also created by assembling found objects into sculpture. I truly do not know where these thoughts come from, but I continue to roll with the punches and let them happen. I do know, I like bright colors because they make me feel good. I am not a follower of negative, grotesque or “evil” art. I leave that for those who desire it. I believe there is enough evil in everyday life that I do not need to be reminded of it. On occasion, I will create a black and white painting or sculpture. which I truly feel makes me face the strongest form of negative and positive space. As I get older and more comfortable with my style, I would like to produce a large body of work using bright colors expressing warm, humorous and musical thoughts for future generations to enjoy.
