Artist Statement:
As a professional artist, I
focus primarily on the moving
figure. I'm intrigued by the
beauty and vitality of the
human form in action and in
interactions with others.
I try to render the gesture of
three-dimensional motion by
playing with figure/ground
relations in my 2D work.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I think I was born an artist. It took me several years to realize what that meant and to truly take advantage of the joy that creativity can provide.
Art school taught me that art requires thinking and time to be proficient.
Experience taught me that good art happens infrequently but, when it does, there is inexplicable joy. It's worth the hours, days, weeks of frustration and questioning! That's why I persist. |
