As a visual artist, I aim to see the ‘color’ in the ‘black and white’ conversations offered in society today.  These dichotomies are almost always opposite, Black and White, if you will, so I encourage entertaining possibility and allowing room for color!

The Why?

In everyday modern life, we are bombarded with stimuli, pressures, suggestions, fears, orders, needs, stress, etc.

People have so much going on in their lives that its only natural to stick with your initial reaction to a thing, especially if its unlikely to affect you at all.

With so many outlets and so much input telling us what to think, to buy, to support, what is right or what is wrong, where to click or what to do …. we group things together to make it manageable, its natural.

What I hope to impact with my work

Entertaining the possibility of seeing part of the picture differently is not only fun, but I believe this habit leads to progress in understanding oneself and others.  I have no ultimate message to convey in each work, but I aim to allow the viewer some time to think

After all, how do we know what we think if we never hear what we have to say..

“In my opinion, what makes my work so enjoyable is that it simply allows the viewer to see an image, get a bit creative about what that part of the painting is, and enjoy how it all relates to your new picture! “

“…It gives us a chance to review something you’ve made… and see what is worth building on. “

“A critic once labeled my work as-  …not an expressionist or impressionist,… but a ‘Reflectionist’

and I feel that sums up my work nicely.”
