Artist Statement

I have always been fascinated by the concept of Emergence. Fish huddle in schools, birds flock in clusters, and mountains erode into valleys; producing the most incredible forms as the individual parts create the whole.

Wall art is a window for other places; shapes in the windows represent the world of nouns. Instead of depicting the familiar persons, places, and things, my work seeks to explore the world outside the realm of mundane physical realism; challenging the viewer to tame the chaos on my canvas with their imagination. I want to bridge the world of subjectiveness in painting with objective interpretation. Like the emergence of life from energy, my art allows the viewer to find their own meaning through my work. I choose not to stand between the viewer and their art experience, and to let them decide for themselves what I have painted. The longer one looks, the more one discovers — on many levels.
