Artist's Statement
The essence of the human spirit is what I am driven to study. It is not a path driven by religion, culture or politics, but rather one birthed from a desire to share and connect with individual members of society who, over time, have become increasingly more isolated and compartmentalized from one another. In the creation of each piece, there is the ambition that each viewer of the finished product will feel a sense of community, unity and belonging.
My process continues to evolve as I delve further into the field of oils. Application of the paint in thin glazes over the initial background color enables deeper colors and sets the mood of the artwork. Epic Fantasy is my stage of choice to tell stories that relate to the real word, relationships we make and glimpses into our memories and emotions. The glazes allow for a luminescence, and there is a sense of thoughtfulness within an artwork created this way. I believe that the process along with the actual message of the piece are both equally as important for the final piece.
