I try to be as honest with my art as I can to avoid building a wall between myself, as artist, and the viewer. My method is to strive to convey my own perceptions and ideas of the world in a subconscious outpouring, so people can let go of pretenses when they view my art. They can be themselves with the art, because the art asks and expects nothing of them. Art, then, becomes a mirror in the sense that it allows one to get in touch with his/her emotional response.

My life is too small to inspire universal resonance, so I must allow myself to become a sponge, absorbing ideas and emotional energies, which can be transferred onto the canvas.

I am interested in exploring the most basic characteristics that define what it is to be human—the elements that connect our experience:  aggression, interconnectedness, fear, sex, longing for spiritual truth. At what point are we all expressions of the same energy?

In the end I hope to create art that looks as if it has always existed."
