Artist Statement:
My work as an artist is one of
continual struggle whereby I
attempt to narrow the chasm
between vision and reality.
Since 2000, this struggle has
led me down two very different
paths. The first of which is
evident in my Black and White
series. Following many years
of teaching drawing and
perspective, my black and
white latex paintings are an
attempt to avoid perspective
presentation so that the
paintings without illusions
are more organic and
multidimensional and thereby
open to the viewer’s
imagination.
More recently, I’ve found
myself drawn to the human body
and the psychological aspects
of the human face and body.
The last several years have
produced paintings that
attempt to convey both the
physical reality of the human
body and the complex array of
human emotions. Many of the
paintings in the Human Touch
series are based on images
from photographs, newspapers
and magazines documenting the
state of society and the often
overlooked emotions of shame,
grief and despair as exhibited
by addicts, the homeless, the
institutionalized, and other
more vulnerable elements of
modern society.
