Artist's Statement

I do not believe in formal artist statements. Art should speak for itself, and the artist should maintain a respectful distance and silence. I work intuitively and compulsively, probably believing that there are archetypes that are shared among us all, but amenable to being expressed in one's own individual style.

I have been doing digital paintings and drawings for the last ten or so years. It is a good fit to my personality and nature, being able to go forward, then back, then back and forward, and not having to worry about wasted canvas. Digital work allows for sharing work with more than one person rather than just one person "owning" a painting.
