Artist Statement:
Ideally the artist is
employed by society at large.
The artist helps define
culture and culture makes us
who we are in whatever time
and place we are at. Of course
most of us are not living in
caves anymore but even then
art helped society function;
helped the hunter hunt, showed
people what to do. Art is
still showing people what to
do in a way. Whether it is
raising awareness by showing
what is going on, teaching by
example or simply exploring
ideas that give people ideas.
My art is about ideas as
much as anything else but it
is a surrealistic and
intuitive approach. So what is
presented isn't a literal
interpretation, it is more
like exploring the idea with
art. It is really another
reality. It mirrors our
reality and/or it is
influenced by our reality. I
can't help but be affected by
what is going on around me and
I am interested in the
transcendental as well.
