Bio / Artist Statement

I’m a painter, printmaker, designer, producer, cyclist, conversationalist, writer, and seeker of inspiration. My daily intent is to further my skills as a storyteller, image maker, and amateur quantum physicist. I have a giant garden, partially for all the great produce it provides, but also because it functions as a grand experiment in wonder. I truly believe that we are each better for the people around us and that it is possible to do great work while still being nice to one another.

I believe art of all genres are essential, for they are the purest documentation of our moment in time. The work included in Dictated at Various Speeds examines the in between moments. Fleeting thoughts, the transition from one idea to the next, words spoken aloud even when no one may be there to hear them. My work has been heavily influenced by post-war American art – pop, abstract expressionism, neo-expressionism, with a nod to techniques developed centuries before. I’m not likely to discuss what any one piece “means” but I’m happy to talk about the music that played in the studio during its creation.
