Artist Statement: I paint to make the world a better, more beautiful place. Specifically, I paint
to show the beauty of interrelation. I juxtapose line and shape to relate them
strongly with one another, to forge the separate elements into a dynamic,
inter-working whole.
I build each painting to mold a certain feeling, to create a certain energy. It is an
energy of pressure, of potential, a latent energy like a compressed spring or the
excitement of a crowd. I choose the lines I draw and the shapes I paint in order to
produce and heighten this energy.
As someone who has always stood apart, observing the world as though from the
outside, I sense strongly the ties that exist between the members of humankind
and the cosmos in which they dwell. I choose to draw out and accentuate these
relationships in my work, in symbolic form. My hope is that someday I may so
completely portray these relationships that by merely painting I will bind people
closer to others and to the world around them.
