Artist's Statement

Since 1992 I have primarily concentrated on a series of drawings and paintings using watercolor and diverse drawing media. The imagery in the individual pieces involves realistic and meticulously rendered interpretations of subject matter.

The body of work has evolved into a visual documentation of the peripheral visual information surrounding 'main events.' Main events can be defined as being subjective experiences that are charged with emotional expectations and attachments. Examples of main events include waiting for a friend at an outdoor café (or sitting alone immersed in thought), patronizing a bakery prior to entertaining, and a cross country automobile trip with stops for gasoline at truck stops.

The interpretation of the exchange with the friend (or the cross-country trip, etc.) is dependent upon the events that occur prior to and after the experience; whereas, the unchangeable reality is reflected in the pigeons underfoot, pin ball players at the truck stop, the graffiti delivery truck parked across from the bakery, or a thought or vision inspired by current events.

The peripheral visual information brings forth subjective associations and experiences for each of the viewers. It draws us into and then out of mundane reality into the realization of the greater whole. Thus the connection to spirit.
