artist statement
My work is defined by the culmination of diverse characters,
vibrant colors and illustrative
techniques.
I am inspired by the interactions of people within the various
subcultures of our world, and
I strive to highlight the different perspectives from which each individual engages in these
interactions. Using a narrative approach, often through series of related works, I explore the
relationships of religion, sexuality, race, age, politics and physical surroundings as they
pertain to interpersonal situations.
The character s depicted in my work exist in abstracted environments often using iconography
specific to the demographics they represent. While I do begin with a storyline to each series,
the underlying issues and universal themes represented in the work leave the narrative
open to viewer interpretation.
