Artist’s Statement  
Life is a beautiful mess! It is hectic, it is scattered, it is unpredictable; and every once in a while, things come together and something special happens. Through paint and various media, I try to capture this randomness in life on canvas. I absorb and interpret characters, infrastructure, and the world we live in. Energetic and loose brush strokes come together to form edges creating an interesting accident. 

Someone special to me once said, ‘You don’t realize how tiny you are until you’re surrounded by some serious geography!’ Everything is quietly, perfectly put into perspective in nature. The places I paint are local spots, close to home. There isn't another country on earth that compares to ours. Generally, I struggle somewhat with Artist’s Statements – at times, they can be an interruption between the viewer and the piece. Something very special happens instantly when we look at ‘Art’: a connection. I would hate to go ahead and spoil that connection with my version/interpretation that may bias the viewer right off the bat. I might as well be whispering in your ear, ‘Psst! Hey…there’s no Santa!
