Artist Statement:

Over my more than 40-year artistic career I have been commissioned to create public art projects throughout the world.  My passions have crossed many mediums, from focusing on increasing the social conscience to raising awareness of our environment. 

 

“The ocean is a metaphor for better understanding life itself.  Unless we recognize its fragile nature, we will never realize our full potential.” 

 

We are, as the ocean.  It dominates our planet as our largest ecosystem.  As does our subconscious dominate our everyday actions.  My abstract work speaks to the subconscious.  Looking toward the ocean’s depth as well as the mountains heights for inspiration. 

 

ART INSPIRES – INSPIRATION UNITES

 

For the past decade I have focused my creative energies on private commissions, as well as proactively inspiring and assisting in the repurposing of urban neighborhoods into thriving art communities. 

 

“A neighborhood is an environment, a meeting place, and the universal language of art can help bring people together.”
