Artists Statement 4/7/2010
After many years of painting landscapes and still life, since 2000 my work has been centered
on various concepts of abstract and non-objective art. While realist art is highly rewarding,
I find abstracts a more satisfying and fulfilling means of expression in abstract art.
Every Artist stands on the shoulders of all Artists who have gone before. In my work Ive
tried to build upon work by past artists, such as Pollock, Mondrian, Mitchell, and Miro, and
to mold their concepts into my own personal styles. Consequently, Ive thus far, produced what
I feel is a unique body of work, which is original, and exploratory, while still a
continuation of historic movements. Thus, I feel my work is truly "Art for the 21st
Century."
I have a passion for simplicity which is reflected in most of my work. Id like people to
view my work as a means to escape from the unnecessary complexity of the modern world.
Since a great deal of my work is non-objective I prefer to leave interpretation of my work to
the individual viewer.
Art means different things to different people so take my art and make it yours.
