Artist statement

Take another look, did you see it? Or did it go right by? Get close ,closer ,even closer be sure to see the detail to look for the marks of expression. That’s

how I want my art to be experienced. By forcing people to take another look, and dive deeper into something is to engage the viewer on a level that is sometimes found only within their personal relationships. It is at that moment when the me and the viewers of my are closer than ever. Even though they may have never met me heard of me or have seen me but by taking another look and diving deeper. I feel like they will understand me. I treat every piece that I present to the public is almost as a puzzle. A puzzle of social interaction one that on the surface might look very simple but when you dive deeper it will slowly start to show its complexity.

I draw from the real from real figures to real animals and preferably with graphite drawing from the real automatically gives you an easy gateway to someone’s understanding. Using graphite also gives easy understanding of how the content is made and with this viewers of my art can look at it in quickly see the  challenged the art on presents. that’s what will draw them in that’s what will get them through the door to have them take a look.
