Artist Statement
I am primarily a figurative artist. I am a printmaker and painter but I also like to work in photography, graphic design, and many other mediums.
It is my intent to personally relate the viewer to the subject of the art. I want the viewer to engage his imagination to interact with the figure in the piece.
My work has a graphic characteristic, which I think lends itself to the narrative style of my art. I use a narrative quality to convey a story or a life of the figure in the image.
I have always been interested in the lives of everyday people that I encounter. I enjoy being the outsider and the observer of a life different from my own. I create the subject of my pieces as a window into an unknown life and the viewer then becomes the outsider looking in. By providing the viewer with the minimal amount of information, and only supplying them with cues such as body language and facial expressions I hope to engage the viewer in his own version of the imaginary life of the figure.
