Artist Statement

I work full-time as a painter and sculptor. My painting medium is primarily acrylic and my sculpture medium steel.
Though I formerly worked in a representational manner, my pieces these days are often described as lying somewhere between abstraction and surrealism.

Like everyone, my background and life experience have led me to my current way of thinking and so my work speaks to that place.  I’ve found that with time my world view has broadened and my images now come more from within.  I am quite often pulled to produce compositions which result from meditative sketching. These paintings and sculptures are most usually organic in shape and speak to a personal search for the understanding of the human experience and societal conscience.
