ABOUT ME  

Is it Imagined or Inspired. Found or Created. Painted or Drawn.  Sewn or Woven.  Cooked or Grown. Danced or Sung.  Written or Performed.  Carved or Built.  Photographed or Recorded.
The role of the artist is to create, then share what we think, if that is the intent, so that others may be moved, informed, inspired, challenged to find their own meaning.  Art does have a purpose.  To share a vision that will not always be universal but perhaps may resonate with others.  It's an honor to take that chance to open oneself up to the unknown. The role of the artist is essential for society, encouraging ​the concepts of individuality, self expression and freedom to think and then act on those thoughts.  As artists we have that obligation to ourselves to act. We are all born with the ability to create and express. Be bold and just start and try. That in itself is where it begins.  Just begin.

All of the images shown are original photographs of surfaces and objects with their unique bumps and scrapes that were found
on city streets around the world. They are usually between 8 and 18 inches when found and photographed. My intent is to make photographs that are more painterly to the viewer, riding the line
where you aren't quite sure of the technique, yet dynamic and visually interesting so the medium is not part of the message.
