ARTIST STATEMENT
The heart of my painting always starts with an animate or inanimate object that bears a spunky and alluring nature.  While my interpretations make light of situations we go through, and simply illustrate the quirks of life that we might otherwise pay little attention to, the natural expression and shape is never altered or exaggerated from how I found them to be.  More often than not I play/work with these objects until I pinpoint the perfect metaphorical setting to place them in. Capturing and translating every character role in the piece is important… such as a disposition of a creature, the morphed nature of a reflection in glass, and the overall sentiment that a marriage of two such elements create.
