Where is the meaning in art? Where is the meaning in the artist? If you ask twenty different people, you get twenty different answers. For me, art is life. No matter how many times I stray from the studio, I always end up back there with a paintbrush in my hand.
I've always enjoyed highly symbolic and expressionist works. Salvador Dali, Miro, and Warhol are some of my favorite influences. I enjoy the symbolism of dreams... I enjoy deceptive simplicity.
I'm always happy to take on custom projects and am comfortable working with many different types of materials. In addition to the pen and ink, sewing and painting here, I have also painted on crystal wine glasses, make my own furniture, and pour concrete for garden decoration. I am also happy to help with half-way stuck projects.
I hope you enjoy browsing through my portfolio here. If you have any questions or comments about the work, feel free to email me.
