Artist Statement:
What I see inspires my work.
Images ranging from public
domain icons to archaic glyphs
fascinate me. With high
voltage colors I search for a
visual language of universal
archetypes. The creation and
deconstruction of this
language occurs through the
physical act of painting. In
my recent work, color,
texture, and layering become
the psychology of expression.
Fauvism, Expressionism,
Abstract Expressionism, and
Carl Jung influence me.
Specific influences are Edvard
Munch, James Ensor, Georges
Rouault, Rainer Fetting, the
COBRA painters and Jean-Michel
Basquiat.
