Artist Statement:
I am constantly inspired by people and their relationship to the world around them. How the world can shape a person or how a person can shape the world. I find motivation in these positive directional changes. Such as activism promoting equality for minorities and women, or the race to address climate change giving our youth a future. People doing what they can to make the world a better place for everyone. In my work, I attempt to render the incredible complexity and uniqueness of the human spirit. The story of a person at that moment expressed through a single pose, glance, or gesture. My aim is that you, the viewer, see my work and build on that story in your own mind, adding to the narrative that I hope my work brings. I work mostly in oils and delight in the challenges that creative realism has to offer. Formally a 3d artist for the film and game industry my artistic interests and pursuits have spanned decades.
