Artist Statement:
To me art is an
opportunity to enter the world
of exploration,
experimentation and what-if
states of mind. Where the
whole is not always the
primary focus of attention,
but rather the end result of
expansion and growth from the
tiniest particles and texture.
Primarily my art concerns the
use of textures and revolves
around abstracts, surrealism
and non-true-to-form art
works. Other times, my
artwork will be deliberate
with the whole already
conceived, but requiring
interesting textures, elements
and features to construct it.
Given the fact that I was
virtually blind for much of my
childhood and wore glasses as
thick as coke bottle bottoms,
I gained a deep appreciation
for textures and looking at
things up close. After twelve
years of observing what things
actually look like in a
magnified way my mind has
built an inventory or catalog
of textural references that I
use within my artwork. Given
that, I find it odd and
contradictory that I should be
compelled to choose not to
apply the correct texture to a
given object or subject. That
is to say, I enjoy applying
the texture of an orange to a
tree or the transparency of
glass...
