ARTIST STATEMENT

Art is the primary motive of my life. I love to see how people describe their sense of the world and themselves in it, and have never been able to resist describing and reflecting on my own experience.

Early in my life as an artist I decided that I would allow myself to make the work that inspired and energized me regardless of other considerations. To do this I have worked two or three days a week at a job, lived inexpensively and devoted my time to making art.

Over the past thirty years I have built a broad range of skills, techniques and visual languages that combine many methods and artistic references to better express the depth and breadth of my experience of life. These varied courses of painting have come together in the complex framing methods I sometimes employ. I can combine a lot of different styles by physically layering images in their frames. This allows me to juxtapose images and create a narrative form of painting without being too literal, and provides surprise and intrigue to the viewer while requiring them to process aspects of the work internally - because of the various ways that the paintings physically operate. The Internet offers an excellent venue for the exploration of the interactive character of these works.
