So many artists use their art to make a political statement or to add another voice to a cause. I am all for bringing the public to face their moral and social responsibility. I did that for many years as an illustrator.
But I have embraced a new perspective since I left illustration and returned to fine art. I now make art for the sake of art. Beauty for beauty. Curiosity for the curious. You will see it in my subjects. In my lighting. Even in my brushstrokes. I want to create beauty. Oh, on a rare occasion I will be ironic, even sarcastic—like my three- part “Instagram series.” But I know that art for art’s sake will endure. In one hundred years people will forget today’s issues, and most of the art that protests against it. But they will forever marvel at the beauty that a brush full of paint can reveal on a pure-white canvas. If you agree, we are a good match.
