Artist Statement:

Art opens a window into my mind, allowing pieces of my subconscious to escape onto the canvas, paper or whatever substrate I'm using to capture the elusive bits. It's the ordinary, utilitarian elements of life that inspire and challenge me to present them in a new and, hopefully, exciting way. I love to create a distinct atmosphere - of mystery, whimsy, organic movement or the stillness of a frozen lake at dusk. If my art engages the viewer in a satisfying dialogue, I consider it a success.
