ARTIST STATEMENT
The title of a recent exhibit, No Separation, sums up
the themes I've been working with for years in
my paintings. It is my belief that separation is a
concept invented by the mind. Truly, there are only
relationships. Whether earth, air, water, plant, or
animal; they are all made up of molecules. They
touch and interact. Time and space as well have
proven to be intrinsically linked. Even thoughts
acting as the collective unconscious are connected.
By combining disparate elements, such as nature
and architecture, and making the picture pleasing to
look at, I am demonstrating this point. By peering
through the various layers in my paintings, the
viewer can distinguish different elements, but sees
them as a whole. The world, which we think of as a
whole, is an incredible stew of shapes, sizes, colors,
events, and sensations, similar to the picture plane
of a painting. Also, by playing with scale, I can
illustrate relationships in our micro and macro
environments.
In a sense, by creating works that convey harmony
to draw the viewer in, I am adding to the family of
connectiveness. Just like spanning the gap
between the artists' hand and eye, I hope my
paintings span the gap of separation that people
imagine exists in the mind.
