It Is What It Is.........
"I try not to put too much thought into a project before I do it. I'm
inspired by images, colors, and subject matter around me. I'VE DABBLED IN GRAFFITI, FASHION, COMICS AND ABSTRACT WORK. BUT MY INTERESTS AND MY NATURE DRAW ME TOWARDS SYMBOLS AND SYMMETRY". MY INSPIRATIONS COME FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF SUBJECTS. FROM VENETIAN MASKS, TO EASTERN AND WESTERN MANDALA ART, TO STAINED GLASS AND THE EVER POPULAR RORSCHACH TEST, YOU'LL FIND ELEMENTS OF COLOR, LINE, AND SYMMETRY IN MY WORK. SOMETIMES I WILL SEE A SYMBOL AND SEE IT AS A PAINTING. SOMETIMES I let the
pieces take shape as I go. Don’t ask me what “I” was thinking about
while doing the piece. I prefer a person to look at a piece, and find
what “they” see in the work. They’re never wrong if they see something
that someone else doesn’t. That’s Art. And true art leaves a person
feeling like they have a piece of Someone else they can relate to."
