Artist Statement:
My work is a celebration of
humanity as represented by the
universally familiar.
I seek to instill the
commonplace with the same
reverence given by 17th
century masters to objects
denoting wealth and social
position. As an antidote to
modern day excessiveness, my
deliberate choice and
treatment of objects is an
invitation to revisit the
quiet dignity and poetry of
the basic form. Objects become
icons; valued for usefulness
not decoration, acquired
through need not through want.
Stripped of artifice, they are
symbolic of the desire to
return to that which is true.
My compositions are often
loosely based on the classic
triangle and are centered in
the picture plane. This
combination allows for a calm
balance that can border on the
spiritual. My palette is
limited, preferring to allow
tonal values to dominate and
create drama. My subjects are
largely rendered to scale,
honouring the true
relationship of man to object.
My artist's eye edits out the
superfluous, seeking harmony
and peace. I offer the viewer
a place where order replaces
chaos, and quiet contemplation
leads to an affirmation of
self-worth.
"The profoundest order is
revealed in what is most
casual." (Fairfield Porter)
