Artist Statement:
With my art I am striving to
create a world that sparks the
imagination. I have
deliberately broken the rules
of perception to distract the
viewer’s mind into a state of
wonder.
Many of the images
throughout my art are
influenced by a Russian
artist, Igor Koutsenko. I
studied under Igor in the
mid-nineties. I remember him
telling me “Ty, if you are
going to break the rules of
art, break them. Don’t just
bend them.” These words have
echoed in my mind since then.
Inspiration also comes from
many of the cartoons I
remember watching as a child,
and still watch today with my
children. The Chuck Jones
cartoons, in particular, had
the seeds for great
inspiration tucked away in the
backgrounds.
Through my art, I am inviting
children into the art world,
with images that appeal to
them and to the child in us.
Thank you, and enjoy my
imaginary world
