Artist’s statement

Art is the subjective and emotional view of the
observer, filtered through our experiences and
associations.  As an artist I work to share my
experiences and associations.  For me, art is less
about the subject and more about the emotions the
piece evokes.  What inspires me is the authentic
beauty of the unadorned figure.

The unadorned form, is an example of not only
simplicity and grace, but also power and eroticism.
The male and female forms give us a direct connection
to history, religion and cultures that span the world.
Each century offers artists a new perspective on the
human figure and the definition of beauty.

I cull inspiration from those artists that have come
before me. They have inspired me to look at the
human form as unexplored landscapes.

I view the elements of human physiology as a
sophisticated mechanical and yet biological element.
Understanding the interconnected relationship
between muscles, bone, tendons and movement has
also helped develop my style and skill as an artist.  

My interest in the partial human forms both resting
and in motion, focuses the eye on the elements.   My
use of tone and texture becomes a powerful tool in
revealing the beauty of the unadorned figure.
