| Introduction | REGARDING MY WORK...I have been painting in and around Detroit for over 20 years with artwork placed in both public and private collections. I was first educated at Western Michigan University studying sculpture in the late 80s. Eventual bronze and steel patina experimentation lent credence to painting and me away from WMU in 1991 towards the Detroit art scene and Wayne State University’s painting department. There I begin my lifelong journey into paint not only as a simple medium, but a vehicle for sensory experimentation and transformation. My work is rooted in abstract expressionism, impressionism and also a nod to cubism in years past. Each genre furthers my passion for the medium and satiates my mood for imagery no matter which vehicle I choose to convey my message. Through process and experimentation the work becomes an amalgamation of color, line and texture infused with modern thought and perception. The process is everything to my work. The process generally outweighs the final product in terms of importance because of the informational and emotional release of creation. |
