Artist Statement:
My life is all about
process. It’s the getting
there that interests me. My
art is similar in that I like
the process of making
something from nothing. I’ve
spent years landscaping and
building a cabin in the woods,
as well as doing artwork, and
I love taking a bare piece of
nothingness and making it
something, walk away and don’t
look back. I strive for a
nice finished product, but
it’s the getting there that
keeps me going.
I’m not interested in pretty.
Be real. Painting is paint on
a surface. Any materials, for
that matter, have their own
essential being, and bring
that spirit to the work. I
look for that material to
speak to me, say something to
the viewer, and say whatever
it wants. My work is mostly
figure ground relationships.
I’ve been drawn to the figure
all my life.
I’m interested in the drama of
life and living, and the
endless possibilities of the
interaction or isolation we
encounter. I’m not looking to
represent surface reality, but
rather emotional or spiritual
reality. I want to get under
the skin and see what’s going
on. I like...
