My work is contemporary storytelling executed in drawings and paintings and assemblages; depicting inner meditations, conflicts, and conversations.  I bow in sublimation to both line and color.

 

I think of pure Art as a non-representational entity; however the idea of infusing representational imagery with abstract qualities and pushing the familiar toward an unfamiliar outcome is a major motivation in my creative process. To that end, I produce several distinct seemingly divergent types of work. This dichotomy comes from one place; I suppose that alone is my point. Seeing one within the other is the challenge I offer. 

 

I have yet to discover what it is that pushes my hands across a surface, still, I question my inspirations and in the process I find openings to an elusive answer.
