Artist's Statement:

my paintings are portraits. i use words, images, and colors to form a cohesive structure which represents my subject, and my feelings about my subject, better than i could ever hope to accomplish using contemporary portraiture. my goal is to bring these images and colors together so as to encourage the viewer to form his/her own imagery, and therein become a part of the piece in a way that only one's own imagination could provide. if the painting "works", the viewer will be able to read his/her own personal accounts into the work, and come away feeling connected to the painting, as if they ,too, knew the subject as personally as i do.
