On The Edge Art

Since childhood, my Art has always been an expression of my inner feelings and the path to the personal reality I strive to communicate. Obviously my perceptions have evolved, but my style has remained consistent even during and after my formal education. These perceptions which often manifest themselves in images come from a darker side which I explore before using my senses to synthesize them with my immediate environment no matter how mundane the subjects may seem. This filtering process offers the means by which my individuality becomes universal.

Charcoal is the medium through which these sensibilities can best be expressed even though I have become proficient in other media including oils, watercolors, photography and sculpture. The dreamlike quality of images presented in charcoal most readily combine and define the darker aspects of an inner vision with light study. The unique style which I continue to develop has been greatly inspired by both Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dali whom I use in my ongoing search of expressing the collective unconscious through symbolic and dreamlike imagery.

My current works include visual commentaries of politics, religion, technology and the effects of mass media. I am most interested in showing my work at galleries.
