"The process of creating is an endless journey for me. On the street is where I get inspiration and materials for many of my projects. A thoroughly urban sensibility of the images adds tangible dimension to the elusive, soulful nature of each piece’s energy”
I started creating in upstate New York, in the region called the Thousand Islands located on the St. Lawrence River. Later moved to Montauk, New York on Long Island where I continued my creative process and now creating in Fort Montgomery New York.
Mixed media abstract, assemblage and photography presents throughout most of my artistic production: a balance of chaos and control. I have always noticed things a bit off centered, how light effects the appearance of objects throughout the day (shadows) and the beauty in objects that are worn, torn, ragged, chipped and cracked. I am now exploring a series of white creations that explore shadows and light, as well as a series I call Variance, exploring intersections and cross overs.
My life experience thus far has led to improvisational and direct action in the arts. I fuse together paint, photography, construction material and found objects for many of my projects. I have learned a lot from Robert Rauschenberg's style and approach.
