My art is neither cerebral, symbolic, or portentous. It is the obsession and celebration of composition and color. I work my pieces to vibrate in harmony, by playing off color theory with compositional creativity. My art targets the soul, the unspoken, quiet truths of beauty.

I often work repetition (usually threes) into my work, either repetition within the work or panels that work together. This comes from a focus on compositional balance that has its foundations as far back as The Renaissance (triptychs as well as three-figure religious compositions).

A look at my photography brings this same repetition theme to bear, coupled with an obsession to capture the world in compositions. To break everyday views down into tight compositions. To find beauty in the places where it should not exist � an old can, graffiti, metal scraps�

THE MAGICAL SMALL DETAILS OF LIFE

The magical small details of life
the small things
the texture, the
folds, the way things
meet, beautifully

The small little breaths
the hands of a child
the little pudgy fingers

The flakes of paint
and buttons and clasps
the weave, each thread
a ribbon, its border
the way it turns in light


My art is evolution. I try and change my style and approach to let my creativity soar. I am not chained to a style. I don�t want to be know for a style. I want to be know for being "creativity." Nevertheless, as much as I try to push myself to be different, common techniques and themes seem to hold the entire body together. I always push myself in new directions, but will settle into approaches for periods to see themes to their logical conclusions.
