Artist Statement:
Abstracted realism would best describe my work. My objectives are: to explore realism without being predictable, and abstraction without becoming inaccessible.
I enjoy experimenting with different textures: oils and pastels for depth, and clay for its tactile qualities. For inspiration, I travel and explore new areas, and meet people with various thoughts, ideals and belief systems. All of this inspires me to create works that I hope will in some way add something positive to our collective life experience.
