“MY WORKS’ INTENTION IS TO PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH INFORMATION, ALLOWING FOR A
NARRATIVE WITHOUT DELVING INTO TOTAL NON-REPRESENTATIONALISM. LEAVING ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION AS WELL AS A LITTLE MYSTERY, I HOPE, ADDS TO THE VIEWING EXPERIENCE. MY WORK IN GRAPHIC DESIGN AND GENERAL FASCINATION WITH POP CULTURE ARE HEAVY INFLUENCES ON MY ARTWORKS.
WE ARE GIVEN A BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME TOGETHER. AS AN ARTIST, I CONSIDER IT A GIFT TO BE ABLE TO SHARE MY VISION AND EXPERIENCE. SOMETIMES IT’S SERIOUS, SOMETIMES IT’S THOUGHTFUL AND A LOT OF THE TIME IT’S JUST SILLY. THE SHARED EXPERIENCE OF EXISTING, LIVING, LOVING, THINKING... SEEING BEAUTY, KNOWING FEAR, FEELING PASSION, AND JUST BEING IS FURTHER MAGNIFIED THROUGH ART - CREATING, DISCUSSING, COLLABORATING, LEARNING AND TEACHING. I HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED TO HAVE GREAT MENTORS, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS; TO CONTINUE TO SHARE THIS WITH VIEWERS IS FANTASTIC.”
