Artist Statement:
My mixed media art is a study
of social issues, infused with
conflicting emotional textures
that transform my ideas into
multi-dimensional stories.
Like people, my work often
surprises me. Each piece has a
character which is complex,
spontaneous, and flowing.
Color is significant in all my
work. Its expression is its
attitude. The textures reflect
the complexities and
relationships within the idea.
I often include original prose
in my mixed media work. These
words help illustrate a
particular subject that’s
central to the theme, and help
guide the viewer toward
possible interpretations. I
encourage people to "write
their own story" when viewing
my work. The questions never
have right or wrong answers,
but rather, they’re pathways
leading to discovery.
As an artist, my goal is to
explore the controversies,
push the envelope of our
thinking, find the humor, and
explore the histories that
impact our daily lives.
Whether my work is abstract,
as in much of my glass work,
or social comment, my hope is
that every viewer will walk
away with a feeling of hope
and an understanding that
tolerance and diversity are
the foundation of a future
where all human beings are
merely "human." ...
