Our relationship with the Universe has always been a fascinating subject

for me. My paintings attempt to capture the mystery of not only it's

infinite nature but also our often misleading assumption we are in some

ways insignificant. In an attempt to "capture" this relationship, I use

certain elements in my art to visually "connect" the viewer with some of

the greatest questions we have about this "greater" relationship. I often

incorporate the night sky within paintings to further lead the viewer quite

literally into the depth of the mystery itself.

 

 

Additionally, although not immediately apparent, I seek to express a

variety of emotions and feelings personal to me (and possibly others). My

paintings often focus on the spiritual aspects of these emotions. I often

try to graphically depict a feeling of conflict or chaos within paintings

to bring attention to what otherwise might be an ideal or orderly design

(for "life") in our Universe -- governed by "perfect" Natural Laws. Often this

duality of structure and non-structure can be seen in the literal

"collision" of shapes and forms.

 

 

I continue to believe art is often an expression whose origin is rooted in

peoples' individual "mysteries." My expressions of this relationship have

been a passion of mine, simply because each appears outwardly pleasing to

the eye. My hope is that they also in some greater way may be inwardly

pleasing to the soul.
