Described as both a Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist, I create from intuition and self- expression. I call my calligraphic style, "The Language of Poetic Line". Using this intuitive language, I reveal the intangible energy, inner movement, and complexities of the subject. A compelling, lyrical portrait of its truth.
My medium of choice is acrylic on birch wood. The wood's grain presents its own rhythms and energy, and the relationship between the wood's natural characteristics and my intuitive
self-expression grows deeper. Further enhanced by the visual transparency; beautiful, calming, and deep with imagery and emotion. Recently, my art has transformed into sculptural works of art. The complement of wood, aluminum, acrylic glass, stone and various natural textures brings these expressive artworks to life in a more complex, visual, and tangible way.
My art seeks to inspire, derived from my spiritual perspective and reverence for our universe. I speak of the human experience, and express my whimsical nature. I strive to bring a fresh and compelling interest to each subject in a unique artistic manner. One that often said, is sensual, intellectual, and entertaining.
In each artwork, I try to awaken something, even in those who don't ordinarily look at pictures. I want to provide something for every level of thinking. My intent is to communicate with you, through this universal language of poetic line... through imagery and emotions... offering you a part of me that you may find, is a part of you. Enjoy!
