I improvise with abstraction as a vehicle for both unconscious impulse and mindful design. Compositions are the result of collaboration between opposing energies of the psyche i.e. thought vs feeling, intuition vs knowledge and so on. I want the viewer to participate in the history of this dynamic process.

Works themselves are for my part artifacts harvested from the working process itself; the record of a series of moments captured in time. Titles for works are intended as interpretative sign posts rather than literal labels.

​My thought is multifaceted. I am influenced by mythology, psychology, and religion. The works of Joseph Cambell, C. G. Jung, and both organized and tribal religious traditions are important to me. While I have spent a good portion of my career exploering classical figure sculpture, the evocative nature of Abstract Expressionism is currently my primary influence particularly the New York School of the mid twentieth century.

​The creative process is for me a necessity. It brings me most intimately in contact with the complexities and mysteries of life where I am confronted with more questions than answers.
