I've been engaged in art and music from an early age, sustaining
a creative energy
simply
seems second nature to me. I'm influenced by just about everything I see
and experience, running the gamut from a heavily rusted chunk
of useless machinery
to a beautiful storm infused summer sky. I do have a grab bag of favorites, in particular
the surrealist artists whose interpretation
of the absurd deeply resonates with
me.
I owe a lot to my long time friend and mentor Michael Braun who has and continues to
be a significant influence philosophically as well as visually. I refer to my art form as
jazz painting, color and
form construction, subconscious dreamscapes,
or "cool stuff I
whip
up on my computer". My preferred medium takes flight in the virtual world, a
medium I find to be exceptionally fluid, expressive, and accomodating. I'm often asked
"what is it, what is it supposed to be ?" My response is consistently what is it to you,
what do you see, what emotion does it spark
in you?
