About My Art Making Process

My artwork, whether it is painting, wall sculpture, or art furniture, seldom represents a totally abstract or non-objective frame of reference. I usually prefer to mix abstract, geometric, landscape, and non-objective elements into a personal, visual language. This keeps me interested in the surprising outcomes as each work progresses. A narrative of process is a rather accurate description of how my art gets made. Finding the "end" of each mixed abstract and semi-representative painting usually means reaching a place where the view is a "good one." Each creative peak reveals higher ones further in the distance. This description is certainly not a particularly novel one in the art world. It is one that fits my artmaking experience rather well.

Artist Quote

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
  - Aristotle
