Philosophy
Two things are significant to me in art— the presence of meaning and skill.
The artwork I create embodies my process of merging aesthetics with conceptualism. While conceptual art focuses mainly on "ideas and purpose " my contemporary take embraces the notion of "works of art" to include design, craftsmanship, and beauty in my work.
I entice people to get personally involved with my art by applying strategic color, using symbolism, communicating unconventional points of view and morphing physical space or environment. I want people to go away having seen something unexpected, having experienced a new thought. I see my artwork as a medium to encourage others to consider different ideas while maintaining a consistent, positive through-line in my work.
Having a background in stained glass craftsmanship, the execution of technique, and attention to detail infuse my work. By not self-restricting materials and techniques, my voice is made clear.
Pieces crafted in stained glass, painted glass, acrylic paintings, and three dimensions move the discourse out of my mind and in front of the public mind.
