Artist Statement:
My artwork attempts to
synthesize extreme elements of
human existence striving to
merge the obvious with the
subtle, the crude with the
elegant, and the significant
with the superficial. I feel
that many of my thoughts and
experiences are not limited to
me as an individual. Instead,
I feel these ideas,
observations, and experiences
are familiar among many
people.
I believe when creating,
we should do so extensively,
indiscriminately, and hold no
love to any one particular
aspect of life. We should
explore, experience, then
express life from our own
viewpoints; creating until our
experience has become our
expression.
