Artist Statement:
I have always been compelled
to create things for others to
look at and think about, but
my art is created mostly for
my own entertainment. It is
not only the creation of it I
love, but the hours of
introspection and inspiration
they provide me as I live with
them. When I feel like I've
gotten everything out of the
painting, it is complete and I
can let it go.
My whole process is
meditative. I create depth and
drama using neo-psychedelic
colors and shapes that I build
up in layers. I am
particularly interested in
promoting apophenia (the
experience of seeing patterns
or connections in random or
meaningless data) and
pareidolia (which is our
condition to see faces,
objects, animals and scenes in
forms such as clouds or
inkblots). I often combine the
interlocking organic shapes
with suggested figurative
drawing, linear doodles and
hue gradations. By removing a
conscious identity from the
artwork, I encourage the
viewer to examine their own
psyche as they come up with
possible interpretations.
