"My work has evolved from a long desire to tell stories. These stories become reflections of my perceptions, transforming the world around me into a series of bright visual hieroglyphs. Acting as both social commentary and contemporary fable, the result is more often than not, a series of sardonic observations of the world I see, dealing predominately with social rites of passage and the conflicts and challenges of surviving in today's world. Filtered through the twin lenses of imagination and memory, these issues become symbolic of the event which forge us all both as individuals as well as a society. Like much art, my work seeks to act as a barometer of the cultural/social concerns, issues, mores, values, priorities and struggles which I see as pertinent to the society around me...
The relationship between art and its social surroundings is an important symbiosis, because art is not created in a vacuum; it is both a result and a reflection of the culture which creates it, influenced as much by historical and political events aas artistic creativity and experimentation. It is a barometer of cultural values, mores, priorities and struggles. It provides both social insight as well as cathartic release. Would Dadaism have been what it was without World War I and the onset of cultural "Modernity"? Or think about the interconnection between Pop Art and the cultural/social shifts of the 1960's, the explosion of television and the mass media, and the general interest in the vernacular? Or what about how the invention of photography as a technology affected the future of painting? Everything that is made, be it consciously or otherwise, is a by-product of its surroundings..."
