Artist Statement:
My work is influenced by the
concept of semiotics.
Semiotics is the science of
signs. Language, whether
verbal or visual, is part of
semiotics. I think a language
goes beyond grammar and
vocabulary. The signs we use
to communicate often contain
multiple meanings depending on
factors such as context,
experience, and the audience
receiving the signs. I am
interested in exploring a
visual language of signs in my
work.
The images chosen for my work
are highly symbolic and
allegorical. The meaning
behind each piece is
completely dependent on the
viewer’s perspective. The
piece can be enjoyed purely on
a visual basis or become
deeply meaningful.
There are several artists who
influence my work. The idea of
juxtaposing seemingly
unrelated images is an answer
to David Salle. Chuck Close
and Philip Pearlstein have
influenced my figurative work.
Caravaggio’s lighting finesse
also is a great inspiration to
me. I thoroughly enjoy
painting realistically with
watercolor, and the
exploration of myself and my
spirituality has provided an
interesting myriad of ideas
for my work.
My art work is a combination
of storytelling and
spirituality. So each image
moves beyond the beauty of the
lines, forms, and colors to
speak it...
