"When we encounter the true wonders of nature, the beauty we behold transcends our intellects and reaches directly to our hearts."
Originally from Kansas City Missouri, I have been practicing automotive repair and refinishing from the age of 15 and developed early an appreciation of the beauty in things we think of as damaged or broken.
My contemporary art includes recycled and repurposed sculpture, mixed media assemblage, and photography. The medium is the subject, which speaks as a visual meditation through a mantra of shapes and colors to convey its truth.
Subjects are chosen or repurposed with a sense of movement and action, to heighten the awareness of the potential that exists in every object, just as in every person.
Themes of creation, destruction, loss, and redemption resonate with the intimacies of human existence to explore inspirations including the foundations of western thought, our world today, and visions of the near future.
When we encounter the true wonders of nature, the beauty we behold transcends our intellects and reaches directly to our hearts. I desire a similar response from viewers of my work to provoke a re-examination of our relationship to the natural world.
