artist's statementTo be an artist is to articulate one’s unique perspective and experience of life through visual language. I find that this vantage point is hard to pin down as it is continually evolving with time. For me, there are threads of connection across many of my works, and these are only visible with the perspective of time. The direction my artwork takes is part conscious decision and part happenstance. Starting out with any new project, I will have vague fragments of ideas that hover in my mind like dreams. Some of these ideas will surface while others are lost like water vapor into air. If I am committed to an idea, and I’m willing to devote time to it, a project may become tangible, or it may, disappointingly, lead nowhere. There are times that my work doesn’t live up to the image in my mind, but there are also the incredible moments when it surpasses what I had envisioned or leads me in a direction that I otherwise wouldn't have found.
The mystery of creation keeps me coming back to discover what is just ahead. I have found that the only way to negotiate with unknown is to approach it with openness and trust my intuition as a guide. This inevitably takes me down unknown paths. This can be frightening in the very real sense that committing time to any endeavor with no clear end point could leave you with nothing to show for it. I never know the outcome of a project from the vantage point of starting out. I find that this kind of trust is the hardest part of being an artist, but it is also the most important. It’s a little bit of enthusiastic energy, a little bit of confusion and a willingness to jump despite the risk of failure in order to create something that did not exist before.
