statement

My goal is to create work that invites touch and connection – connection to the past, the present, and onesself. Bold lines reference artistic intent and parallel themes that overlap in our lives. We are products of myriad systems:  society, science, religion, family, school, the media, and so on.  Yet we are also spiritual beings: we exist in the moment; we exist in light and color; we exist in destruction and creation. At the very best, the lines are a simple cue to make present our complex realities.  Between myriad contrasts of light and dark; rough and smooth; black and white; opacity, vibrancy and translucency, I create my work.
