monkey and fruit

Through visual art my memories, dreams, personal themes, as well as the larger universal questions can be distilled and expressed.

Respect for art of the past provides inspiration for my work. Whether it be the symbol, allegory and metaphor set down in still life, or the psychological states, moods, and nostalgia depicted in mysterious landscapes, I seek to infuse the work with elements of ambiguity in order to allow the viewer to project and decipher his or her own shades of meaning while at the same time recording my own vision. The vision may not be altogether clear to me at first but in time its meaning is usually revealed.
