Artist Statement:
In my work, I've drawn from
nature in visceral ways to
explore my connection to the
natural world. Art is yet
another way of discovering new
vistas and learning new things
about places familiar.
Much of my current work is
done in oil pastel, which I
prefer for thier brilliance
and versatility (I use them on
a wide variety of surfaces).
Oil pastels also allow me to
weave back and forth between
the disciplines of painting
and illustrating. I use up to
10 different types of oil
pastel in some of my
paintings, because of the
variations in softness,
opacity or color selection
that allows me to build,
transform and evolve a
work....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I find the art of neolithic cave painters and the ancient engravings and petroglyphs of mysterious and mystical symbols on stone or bone to be continually fascinating. The initial symbolic expressions and impulses of early man, as the human brain and the earliest cultures were developing, correlates in many ways to the life development of an artistic individual and the evolution of their art. |
