The City Series are a result of my fascination with the unusual illuminations found in the city streets, and are inspired by the light and energy of New York City. Neon, streetlight and store windows provide a bizarre and exciting palette. These paintings capture the psychological impact of color; and the kinetic atmosphere of the city and it's inhabitants.
Life images are the quiet contemplations and reflections of my own environment. These paintings are the still life, people, and images, in which I found a rich visual context. Color is utilized as a quieter, more subdued language.
The Spirit Paintings (Altered Reality) are an exploration of imagery and ideology. An investigation of what lies beneath the conscious. These works are my own initial way of synthesizing particular metaphysical concepts. The search for the truth of things, by means of creative interpretation. Art provides us with the means to see possibilities.
The beauty of the monoprint, for me, is the immediate response to the thought or idea being conveyed.
"Beauty elevates the soul, art should elevate the soul" -Serge Hollerbach
