It all begins with desire….

There was a time when I had a lot more to say about art. The perpetual explaining.
Today I am less about the chatter and more about just doing the work.
I tend to work in series, and for the past ten years or so I have been moving back and forth between minimalist collage works and colorful abstraction. Recently (since summer 2024) I have been working in a graffiti style of collage that incorporates words, images, and pages from old books.
My work is message oriented and motivated primarily by personal stories, current events, music and literature.
Nothing is set in stone. I don’t like being pinned down.. I have a lot of restless energy and that almost always goes onto the canvas. Whatever is on my mind, in my heart, I leave it there, on the wall. What you see is me. Sometimes it’s very sparse and nuanced, other times it’s a frantic mad dash. Opposites coexisting, hashing it out in real time.
