Artist Statement



My life is all about process. It’s the getting there that interests me. My art is similar in that I like the process of making something from nothing. I’ve spent years landscaping and building a cabin in the woods, as well as doing artwork, and I love taking a bare piece of nothingness and making it something, walk away and don’t look back. I strive for a nice finished product, but it’s the getting there that keeps me going.

I’m interested in the drama of life and living, and the endless possibilities of the interaction or isolation we encounter. I’m not looking to represent surface reality, but rather emotional or spiritual reality. I want to get under the skin and see what’s going on. I like to represent that with whatever materials I’m using.
