Statement

 

I love the process of making artwork.  For me, this involves connecting deeply with materials, such as paint, gel mediums, pastel, ink, papers, wood, sand, and wax.  I also build many of the wood painting surfaces.  As I work, I am constantly solving problems with the material to create balanced, harmonious images.  My approach is an intuitive one of trial and error: a kind of meditation.


Being a street photographer is a very different process from mixed media work.  I make photographs of street scenes and intimate portraits of people whom I meet.  I love capturing the fleeting moment of life on the street.  The street is always changing and tells a rich story.
