The work is really mostly about the Numbers and the word ‘Image” As an artist, I feel compelled to make a visual ‘Image’... and most things involve numbers. They are relevant facts in life and each warrants immortalization in a painting.

In an art world where painting as an art form is considered by some to be passé, no one can dispute the relevance of an Art Image both as an object to fill a wall and as a collectible. And so these works are at least that. In a world awash with art images, the numbers are another way of distinguishing one artwork from another. This body of sequenced work, by acknowledging its place in the current world of image making, could in fact become art to the skeptics. I am literally counting on my paintings to make art’.


I believe that most individuals tend to be passionate about someone, some endeavor or some thing. That attraction and embrace can inevitably bring with it some tough times and even breaks. The fractured abstract heart is an attempt to bring humanity and soul to the work. In dissecting this symbol, positive and negative phenomena are expressed as an integral to the cycle of life. As in life’s actual experiences, this depiction is more or less realized in some paintings than others, but as a personal life philosophy, it is always present, even if at times obscure like the art.


The artworks are highly textural in nature. Ripped plywood has been integrated with other bits of 3D material which include artifacts of past communication mediums. Pieces of mirror and Plexiglas add life and reflection - sometimes even the reflection of the onlooker. These elements form a base for the paint.
