ABOUT THE ARTWORK

An antique photograph of two Japanese sumo wrestlers, on which I first did some restoration and then painted in warm, earthy colors. Sumo is an ancient martial art and the first record of the sport dates all the way back to 712 CE. It is the national sport of Japan, which is the only country in which it is professionally practiced. The object of the competition is to force your opponent out of the ring or onto the floor, and the only part of a wrestler's body that can touch the floor throughout the match are the soles of their feet. It is a sport full of ritual, tradition and ceremony.

My mind lives in a rather strange world of its own, in a state which I tend to refer to as "delightfully twisted." Through my art, which I am vehemently determined to continue to create with as little outside influence as possible, I work to interpret the concepts my mind creates in a moment-by moment barrage of ideas. Though my work manifests itself in many different ways, from the delicate transparency of digital watercolor, to the no-holds-barred starkness of noir photography, to even the fanciful abstract-turned-conceptual properties of my fractal art, the undercurrent that binds them all is my love of surrealism. I prefer the worlds my mind creates to the one in which I live, and though I create all my art to please myself as a rule, nothing thrills me more than when it speaks to someone else as it does me.
