The intention behind my work - which ranges from traditional portraiture to abstraction, mixed media collage, and anything and everything in between - is of lesser importance than what effect, if any, they have upon the viewer. I find it easier to explain the "how" than the "why" of their creation, and find, to my embarrassment, my eloquence completely betrays me when asked to explain their intended meaning. All I know is I want you to look at my work and FEEL. Because what else is there? Artist statements are ultimately redundant, because art IS the statement. My only hope is that you listen.
