Art is, as it has always been, volunteer work. No one tells me what I should create. These images come from the experience of life. The 21st Century has been a time of fragmentation—we see our world change rapidly. We don't, however, always see ourselves change. It is the role of the artist to observe and visually record these changes.

My imagery comes from observing life. Color, shape and form flow together. We are constantly bombarded by changes. Satellites, computers, television and film bring the entire world to us. These fragments from life are compiled-crafted, if you will, into a form that we are told shows us what is happening around us.

My paintings present reconstructions of the many pieces of life experienced each day. The forms may be assembled or cut from a single piece. They are intended to interact with the environment within which they are placed. When displayed on the walls the very space they are in becomes part of the image. The paintings, because of their form and images, both accept and deny three-dimensionality. They challenge the viewer to become involved ...move around ... interact ...and respond.
