Artist Statement

I am a visual artist / designer from Columbus, Ohio. My art is a communication to you the viewer about my life, but it is open to your interpretation. Most of my artworks are abstract, emotional canvases, where I let non-representational shape and intense color tell a story to evoke emotions. My work is provocative: you may see it, or maybe not, but you have to really look at it. It is like something is almost there, almost on the tip of your tongue or the brink of your thoughts, and then sometimes you just know. It is chaos. I use a chaotic process to create these little narratives about my life. All or many of these works may evoke some memories or feelings within the viewer, which is a goal of my work. Each piece has a story to tell, a feeling to convey. Abstract (expressionism), at its most effective, should feel like poetry in contrast to the prose of realism and the surreal. Whether directly or indirectly, energy acts as more of a muse in the creation of each work.
