ARTIST STATEMENT
I'm a musician and an artist. My awareness of this started when I was about 10 years old. I have not been able to do much about it ever since.
I paint swirls and dots, circles and images that overlap and grow out of each other, contrasting colors that repeat and harmonize like flowers growing wild or cool improvised notes in a piece of music.
I often try to put more than one painting on the same canvas. This creates shifts in time, and exciting spaces for all those dots, circles and images.
Finding an iconography is hard, maybe impossible. So I go into my head and surrender. I gesture with my hand. I make marks, trying to capture energy, structure, motion and feeling. I hope to tease your brain a little and make you laugh once in a while.
I love to put strange scenes and recognizable things in my work. I invite you to create anything you want out of what you see. You will always be right!
