Dear web surfer/person with art interests:
Here you usually will see the obligatory
remarks of the artist offering profound insights into
the significance and the meaning of his or her
works. For my money, you can stop right here and go
directly to the gallery buttons and draw your own
conclusions. After all, most artists I know are more
into "doing art" than they are into explaining it.
While I do not have a rigid set of criteria for my work,
when I step back and think about the direction it has
taken the following seems to somewhat capture it:
-
The
artwork must in some way relate to my own
experiences, so commission driven projects are
seldom undertaken;
-
I work in both representational and abstract modes;
-
A series rarely extends beyond just a few paintings,
however, the door usually remains open for
additional work;
-
And, I do the art work because I enjoy it. There
may be some degree of compulsiveness.
