Artist Statement
My work always begins with a love for the magic of creation. The blank surface about to be transformed into a living thing or another world. This act has been with mankind forever and yet never ceases to be awe-inspiring. I always want my marks to be visible, to keep this sense of wonder present. The content of this work, my Air series, focuses on birds, particularly those I’ve been most familiar with in the cities I’ve called home over the years. The songbirds who serenade outside and glide overhead. They’ve been a constant companion. They also capture a real sense of freedom. Truly symbolic, a bird flying through the air is achievement itself. These paintings are totems of aspiration. |
| Out of an upbringing with an acupuncturist father I too focus on healing. Both in the what and how of each piece. My strokes of paint describe form as well as reach into the ethereal realm of energy. The unseen though highly tangible flow of life that connects us. Surface, texture, and internal charge are interchangeable.
When I set out with a piece it is to explore stories, thoughts, and feelings that connect us. The narrative thread through my work is mythology. The myths of both our shared past and personal experiences that define being human. |
