My first impulse is to make the most beautiful picture I can. I’m always interested in this idea of a kind of undercurrent in
the work. The perfect facade and what’s beneath the surface of that facade. I’m very interested in the uncanny and a
way of looking to find something mysterious or terrible within everyday life.
The narrative is the most important aspect of my art. The juxtapositions and ironies of life intrigue me. I strive to explore
the unexplainable and continue to struggle in exposing hidden emotions through art. I use texture, shapes, shadow, and
light to convey a message and find meaning for myself. I find beauty flawed and perfection nonexistent. The human
body is an endless source of inspiration for me. I see the human figure as the most ideal subject we have in art. My work
is about the beautiful and the hideous. Incongruity and ambiguity are present in my life and my art work.

Artist Statement
Addendum
Addendum
An “Artist Statement” hopefully, conveys something about what the artist leaves us to ponder.
Perhaps it can shed light on the body of work, or maybe confirm what is already obvious, or even
intentionally subvert the viewer’s best efforts to understand the pieces at all.
