Artist's Statement

I have always been interested in art.  For my seventh birthday I asked my parents for a bike and to visit the Tate in London.  In the study of both art and mechanical drawing, I discovered the power of dynamic spatial relationships.  It should come as no surprise that conceptually I explore and integrate both of these disciplines.  My work focuses on the representational, the construct telling the story while component parts challenge the viewer with clues or symbols.  I am drawn to many subjects, but my favorites for reinterpretation involve bold elements that I find intrinsically charismatic.  I find the timeless, compelling subject matter conjoined with the fluid medium of watercolor riveting.
