Artist's Statement

I was raised in Salt Lake City and now reside in Logan, Utah. I have always been interested in art, and have been called an "all-around creative brain" having a wide range of interests, knowledge, and creative abilities. As an awarded commercial artist, I recognized concept, color, composition, and balance as elements of picture-making.

For the past 25 years, I have been employing combinations of acrylic paint, canvas, wood, paper, photography, and digital graphics to create two- and three-dimensional pieces. Pop art, influenced from my profession in publishing and advertising, has had the biggest impact on me. Some pieces begin with a humorous, clever, heady, or obsessive viewpoint - but finding surprising, eye-catching, and well-designed solutions to any problem is what I find most fulfilling.
