Artist Statement:
I believe an artist should
play many important roles
within society. Importantly,
but not limited to: being a
mirror; a sounding board; an
idealist; a rebel, an activist
and a non-comformist - if need
be. I try to address social,
political and economic issues
in my artwork by focusing on
national and international
events as they influence and
affect our human condition,
social conscience/sense of
justice and society's fabric
in general. Utilizing to
varying degrees realism,
symbolism, allegory and
metaphor in my work.
Sometimes, I incorporate pop
culture references into my
paintings to emphasize a
point. Sarcasim, irony and
blunt humor can also be
present. I have been highly
influenced by the work of
artists, such as: Francesco
Goya, Honore Daumier, Eduaret
Manet and Theodore Gericault.
