About the Artist
Art making has a long history of interpreting events and culture. Like the stories of pre-historical times told around the evening fire, the arts have examined our conditions, conflicts, and changes. Tragedy, comedy, love, greed, hate, action, conscious, and public spectacles are just some of the elements that artists have wrestled with to process the seemingly unchangeable moments of living. As I work in my studio listening to the radio, contemplating the day’s world events. What stands out that day often becomes the subject of a new work. My process involves complex interwoven layers of paint and/or material, structurally grafted into a larger format. Thematically, my focus is simply this; how are we as a nation and culture responding to world events ? What is our acceptable role with regard for our international neighbors ? Is our way and option or rule of thumb for "spreading freedom ?" How do we re-build our familiarity with our international neighbors and begin the healing ?
