ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I believe art helps us make sense of the complexity of our world -- or at least appreciate its baffling intricacy. Maybe we need art for reassurance or to help interpret the things we don't understand. I'm not sure. But by surrounding ourselves with beautiful and thought-provoking things, we become more understanding, positive and tolerant.
My work is born out of realism but generally grows into heavy abstraction and multi-layered fantasy. All my work has a superimposed feel because that's how I view the world. It's never what you see at first glance. I look around and see layer upon layer of disparate elements that intertwine and fight and converse with one another to produce a gorgeous, cohesive whole. The whole picture reveals itself only when you’re aware of the wonderful relationship of all its elements.
My images are often extremely saturated with color - which is basically my way of waking myself, and the viewer, up to endless possibilities. If I can create a dialogue between intense colors that intrigues the viewer, then yet another level of communication opens up to us.
In the end I hope my work moves viewers. . .no matter what direction it takes them. If they find themselves cocking their head to get a different angle than when they first started looking, my work has succeeded.
