Artist’s Statement 

Painting and sculpting is for me the process of discovering the extraordinary within the ordinary, and creating art that celebrates those qualities. My painting and sculpture include the use of textural materials and innovative techniques that create revelations of color and form.

“I enjoy the challenge and sense of invention that comes with discovering new solutions in the design and use of materials, and in the engineering of art projects to achieve a special or unexpected result. I’m influenced by the words of Rod Serling in his prologue to the Twilight Zone: “Consider This:…”

I’m inspired by the Sunday comics, AC/DC, American pop artists, illustrator Jack Davis, and Mr. King. I’m motivated by the challenge to communicate who I am and what I believe through painting and sculpture.
