ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Overall, when I paint, I try to tell a story, or share my experiences, knowledge, point of view or sense of humor with the viewer.

My series of paintings entitled ("Microscopic Art",) reflect my elaboration of the intricate and lovely patterns and forms found in microscopic human anatomy using imaginative colors and sensual, organic shapes. The inherent beauty of the human form at even the cellular level is seen in these images.

Following the Microscopic Art paintings, I completed a series of figurative subjects called "A Moment in Time," based on my recent travels to Europe and Southeast Asia. In these paintings I try to capture the subject of the story while leaving elements of it in mystery for the viewer to contemplate.

In a more lighthearted approach, the "chimp" series looks at the question of just how far removed we are from our species' closest surviving relative. I hope these paintings will encourage the viewer to believe that the apparent distinction between man and all other animals is only a figment of our imagination.

Currently, I am working on a series of images depicting the thought-provoking relationship of biblical stories to contemporary world events. I am letting my imagination lead me into new territory and I am excited about where it may take me.
