About Me
- Favorite Medium: paintings
- Statement: My imagery is a reflection of my thought processes. Through painting I attempt to arbitrarily capture or record from the flow of mental images. My ideas come from hard, conscious reality (tenuous relationships, overcrowding, involuntary interdependence, life in flux, losing self, etc.) where contradictions exist that can be integrated with rational thoughts, the dream state the subconscious. Like Dadaists and Surrealist I feel a certain defiance of the conventional established art world and its inflexible standards rooted in tradition. But, rather than turn my back and discount academic figurative painting, I see it as another source to spur my personal sense of creativity. For me opening the realm of possibility through painting take precedence over following any movement, sensibility etc.
