STATEMENT OF INTENT One of my favorite things is to make something from nothing. Images usually are a response to events in my life or the larger world. I think in terms of stories and metaphors, my mind keeping a running commentary on the spectacle that is life. The constant elements in my images are humor, energy, and the mystery that lies at the center of everything. I could almost paint just to see what two colors do to each other on the surface. I also hope to add to the viewer’s experience and feeling of connection to the world. MEDIA oil on canvas, paper or panels, lithography, drawing, collage.
