ARTIST STATEMENT
I create free-flowing impressionistic surreal people in charcoal, oil, pen, collage, pastels and just about all mediums using both traditional and digital means. Sometimes I combine it all in one artwork.
I’m interested in seeing familiar things in new ways and creating visual stories that make people laugh, wonder, enjoy and most importantly, pause. If only for a moment.
