I see art as a way of thinking and acting in the world rather than merely a stylistic or material practice.I am concerned with how people relate to the self, to each other and to their environment. I am saddened by cruelty, xenophobia and greed. I aim to give artistic presence to my humanity and concern. I am interested in the visually poetic, employ ambiguity in my work and strive to express the essence rather than the details. I see opportunities in accidents, enjoy unusual combinations of materials, the unpredictable outcomes of collaboration and the general adventure of the creative process. I believe the elevation of collective consciousness is infinitely more important than the celebration of the individual ego. My priority as an artist is not to receive accolades and praise for my talents, but rather to inspire others to help to create a just and meaningful world. For this reason, I am most interested in interventions of public art. I believe that strong and thought out works of public art can help to facilitate more spiritually enriching interactions in those spaces. I want to create progressive, quality public artworks as visual alternatives to the manipulative energies of advertising in public spaces. My primary goal is to inspire and encourage the perceptual and spiritual evolution of the general public.
