Artist Statement:
We only experience true
fulfillment in life when we
invest our lives in a purpose
that is beyond ourselves. Art
for art’s sake has little
appeal to me. As an artist I
see myself primarily as a
communicator. My desire to
communicate is what fuels my
desire to create art. I am as
passionate about what I am
communicating as I am about
the physical process of
creating an image.
The content of my work focuses
on the human figure and the
human condition, and it is
often autobiographical in
nature. I use my own
experience as a vehicle
through which I can respond to
what I see taking place in the
society around me. I am
particularly interested in the
morals, values, and inner
belief-systems that cause
people to think and act the
way they do. Art interests me
a great deal, but truth, and
communicating truth, interests
me far more.
