The visual world has always interested me as I guess it does most people.
Why some images fascinate us while others leave us unmoved, indifferent, even antipathetic is fertile ground for speculation and study. At the same time the visual world and its reproduction as art provides us with endless opportunities to explore the nature of our world and its relation to us and our lives.

My job as an artist is to capture, as honestly as I can, the visual truth of my world and the spiritual and emotional meaning it carries for me. Line, light and dark, shape, color, form: these are the tools I have at my disposal. If I am skillful enough and honest enough I can use these tools to convey the truth of what I see, a reality that transcends the mere reporting of visual facts. When someone views my work I hope to inspire that moment of recognition, that sudden understanding, that instant of awe that comes when we truly see . I want to take the viewer back to the time when the world was new to them, unordinary, powerful and filled with wonder. If I can take you back there even for the briefest of moments then I will consider my job as an artist to have been a success.
