Artist Statement
Making art is about the process. Mastery requires a commitment to practice. Achievement is an ongoing cycle of realization, refinement, and the instinctive application of materials and craft. My process recalls an early hands-on approach to art, pre-computers via graphic design. I work large and small using various mediums: oils, acrylics, encaustics, charcoals, pastels, lead and more. In combination or alone, these processes keep me loose and fresh, constantly revisiting and refining my process. Nothing is sacred - what is done can be undone. In doing so, revisiting work over time allows me to "change my mind". The result is better and more meaningful.
For my birth-day each year I create a self-portrait. The following images are a select few ranging anywhere between the ages 22-70.
