Artist Statement:
My work is a celebration of
humanity as represented by the
universally familiar.
&<8232;&<8232;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.
&<8232;&<8232;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 artist's
eye edits out the superfluous,
seeking harmony and peace,
offering the viewer a place
where order replaces
chaos.contemplation leads to
an affirmation of self-worth.
"The profoundest order is
revealed in what is most
casual." (Fairfield Porter)
