"The process of creating is an endless journey. On the street is where I get inspiration and materials for many of my creations. A thoroughly urban sensibility of the images adds a tangible dimension to the elusive, soulful nature of each component’s energy”
I started creating in upstate New York, in the region called the Thousand Islands located on the St. Lawrence River. Later moved to Montauk, New York on Long Island where I continued my creative process and now creating in Fort Montgomery, New York. Mixed media concepts and assemblage presents throughout most of my artistic production, a balance of chaos and control. I am driven by improvisational and direct action in the arts. I have always noticed things a bit off centered, how light effects the appearance of objects through out the day and the beauty in objects that are worn, torn, ragged, chipped and cracked. I am now creating a series of white creations that explore shadows, light and hidden concepts. Also a series I call Variance, exploring intersections and cross overs. My concept is more about DNA markers and finding family you had no idea existed. This is based on my life experience. I fuse together paint, construction materials and found objects for many of my projects. Being a self-taught artist, I have learned a lot from Robert Rauschenberg's style and approach.
