The subject matter of my work is the turbulence of life...love, death, sickness, joy, happiness, redemption, forgiveness, birth...something that we all share. In my work emotions act as catalysts to form artistic syntheses in direct and meaningful ways. My paintings and mixed media compositions use the elements of art, and a life of painting, to form a well seasoned stew that is organized into sometimes raw, sometimes elegant images. For the most part, recognizable objects are stripped from subject matter and only emotion remains as a record.
Hopefully the result is that my personal visual statements are recognized as universal aesthetic statements shared by the viewers.
