Artist Statement:
For well over a decade my
painting has been the real
work of my life. My paintings
are about color and design,
materials and methods,
exploration and
experimentation. Many of these
paintings are about the deep
and unseen parts of the
individual; they are about the
hearts of men. A very personal
language of sorts has begun to
evolve inside this work-
pictograph forms that return
throughout, themes recur as
well. If the simple vocabulary
of my work can deepen the
viewer's sensitivity to the
subjects of my paintings,
perhaps it will ultimately
bridge the emotional gap of
our detached society. Much can
be learned from small
beginnings, in which our most
basic, initial understanding
of one another can form our
greatest appreciation for each
other. I am most convinced of
this when on occasion someone
narrates the story of one of
my paintings to me upon
viewing- they are really
telling me their own story.
Soon we are exchanging ideas,
learning about each other, and
so it begins… what was my
painting has now become a
small part of us together.
