ARTIST STATEMENT

First off, I’d like to thank the Library for this opportunity to display my work in their wonderful new gallery space. Second, I want to acknowledge all the art educators I’ve been lucky enough to be taught by over the years. They are truly responsible for all the good things you see in my work.

Simply stated, my artwork is inspired by the things I love in my personal life and the things I find in the world that evoke a strong personal reaction. I strive to bring a straightforward, not too serious point of view to all my work. I’m always open to exploring new media from simple pencil drawings to more complex painted wood sculpture… sometimes mixing everything in between. What ever catches my minds eye is where I go and failure is always an option. But hopefully not too often!

But, at the end of the day, it’s difficult to nail down exactly what I do or why I do it. I think sometimes defining things too precisely removes all the mystery and romance that makes art so interesting and compelling. I’m okay with that. I hope you enjoy the show and find something here that resonates with the art critic we all possess inside ourselves.
