Artist Statement

All I ask for from my art and my audience, is a constant evaluation of life. To see things not only as they are but as the could be, both for better or worse. I've learned that no matter how unique your problems are that somebody out there has crossed that bridge before you and exploring that commonality is what I would like my art to achieve. To go where many have gone before but with such daring and adventure, it would seem like I was delving into virgin lands. So many artists drive themselves wild over the idea of how to create their art, and in some ways I'm not after that. I feel like the best art has already been made, eons before us, and it is the job of the artist, I feel, to uncover that art from the fogs of time and thought. I relate my work as archaeology of aesthetics in a way. I guess to simplify it I would say that my work is more of a discovery and less of a creation.
