The subject of my paintings, the concepts and  ideas I am engaged with, are continually evolving and changing. I am primarily interested in the vulnerable and damaged side of modern society.  I use photographs as a reference point in terms of the physical aspect of what I am trying to express. Then, by allowing sensitivity and memory to the fore, I integrate a conceptual  perspective  to these images. My work is influenced and informed by music, computer art, illustration as well as the full range of contemporary painting and painters.   I believe chaos and beauty can coexist. It is a constant concern that I have. There is a thin line between what is considered seductive and what is defined repulsive. I enjoy  pushing those limits as much as I can.  For me, painting represents a voice with endless possibilities. It empowers me to express simple thoughts more fully than any other medium.   Printable Version of Artist Statement and Bio. Click on the thumbnails below to view a larger image.
