Statement

 

My primary artistic goal is to create and present my subjects as the direct visual representation of my perception using oil paint.

 
My subjects — singularly sentient persons, deceptively banal places  — are specific to my time,  with an aspiration for timelessness.
 
It is my intention that they abide with a reverence for the mysteries of time itself and convey the melancholic weight of the subjectivity of consciousness.
