About The Artwork

_______________It's about me.
______________________________It's about you.
_____________________________________________It's about the world.

My artwork is about people and what ultimately lies within each of us. When you look at the women and men presented in clay and ink, know that you judge them. Consciously or not, you cast your thoughts about them. You weigh their depth, their meaning. You evaluate my technique and the finality of the piece. You try to discover what it is that I am trying to say.

_______________It's to be expected.
______________________________It's to be welcomed.

My work is designed to make you think. Investigate your reactions. Delve into your subconscious. Why is that you are so attracted to the chaotic, violent nature of the strokes? Why do you shy away from the delicate, almost silent invisibility of the figures? Can the works be simple yet hold all the complexities of life? Can a single line express all of the emotions of a lifetime?

My work may not be the same beautiful landscape that my neighbor paints. It may not be pretty or joyful. But yet, it makes you think. For better or worse, you react. And… whether you wish it or not, your reactions are what make my work, what it is.

some of my Recent works...

My most recent explorations in printmaking have taken me into the realm symbolism. While taking a course at the Worcester Art Museum, I was challenged to create a symbol that represented who I was. I began by sketching things that I related to and images that represented my thoughts, passions, interests... and very being. From there, I worked to simplify, re-sketch, re-work, and re-examine what it really was that made me.. me! In the end, I, as well as the others in the class, had come up with a symbol that encompassed who I was on a level that went beyond outward appearances and casual conversation to explore the deeper parts of me that lay hidden to the world.
As if the creation of my personal symbol (shown at right) was not enough, the class was then given the task of using that very piece of ourselves in a series of artwork. I call my series "Symbolic Me." View the series.
