Artist Statement:
In my work I seek to
complement the moments I
encounter. I attempt breaking
down life to its visual
essentials - light, dark,
balance, movement, tone - and
in so doing, perhaps show
another perspective. I enjoy
capturing the essence of a
moment, also "story" by
diversity of color and pattern
that the eye or camera is
unable to see. If somebody,
while looking at my artwork,
get that special feeling of
something personal, I'm
satisfied.
I consider a painting complete
when the emotion or feeling I
am trying to express match the
thoughts in my mind. Often
this process leaves me naked
and feeling exceptionally
vulnerable.
I've never experienced 'artist
block' on what to paint, only
the dilemma of 'what to paint
next', or 'how will I ever
find the time to paint all the
visions going through my
head.'
"The canvas is my playground
of words and some of my
writing is here, it is my art,
it is what I have to offer"
