Artist's Statement

Being an artist is like being a hen. The egg will be laid. Art will find a way to live. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and different mediums to find what will express my idea most clearly and concisely. But conversely I think about a piece for a long time before I put my hand to it. As someone unknown advises, I paint what I know.

Inspiration comes from all sources. I read voraciously and the words and images fertilize the seeds of ideas harbored within my memories. If any emotion is reflected in my work, humor is foremost. I feel that I see things from a different perspective and I try to express that viewpoint. I don’t want to spell things out. I want my art to send you sensations that trigger your own memories. I hope that my love of my subjects comes across.

Organic curves of leaded glass mirror the curves of the towel turban. I wanted to capture the mood and light of that relaxing period at the end of the day, when the motion and activity of the young begins to soften and settle with the fading sunlight.

"Faux Chanticler"

Oil

Costumed in the vibrant colors of a rooster, a raven mimics the glorious call then listens carefully for any response. No one answers because they know he is only an imitator.
