My page features many pieces of my work and shows an extensive knowledge of mediums and techniques. Currently I work primarily in oils and oil pastel.
I am a multi faceted artist working in a variety of media. Moving between pencil, charcoal, paint, and three dimensional sculpture with equal dexterity.A face is just a mask, a covering to protect the soul. The mask is a disguise to hide what one is by appearing as something else. Inherently we are all the same inside and out. Regardless of race, creed or color of our skin, we are all human beings.
I consider myself to be a human being and a student of the human condition. I am a barometer that measures the relative pressure of society. As a result, I am an Artist.
My purpose is to be an observer of life, to better understand myself and my place in the world, to touch others and allow myself to be touched by them and to create deep spiritual connections to myself and those around me.
I investigate these themes through mask like portraiture, stylized landscapes, woodblock and monoprints.
My work is influenced by African, Oceanic masks with German expressionist and fauvist leanings.
