ARTIST STATEMENT
My most recent work titled Consequences is a series of digitally manipulated and composited photographs, including photos of our industrial and energy production machinery. As the world struggles with global warming and ever-increasing energy needs, this architecture of power looks both beautiful and foreboding. As a digital artist and painter, I hope to communicate more than simply a place, by expressing and reflecting our times.
Figurative paintings, both quick studies and acrylic canvases of process, journey, and expression, relate to my extensive figure drawing background and intuitive approach to painting. The Jars & Jugs series plays with styles and shapes.
I'm primarily a self-taught artist, with several years painting at California College of Arts & Crafts and several more years at Bay Area Colleges for multimedia, including digital graphics, web design, video, photography and large-scale printing.
