“My work as
a whole encompasses an exploration of the human experience.
My interest in the people around me comes from the idea that
we look
at people every day, but we never really stop to SEE them.
In every painting I strive to capture the beauty, variations
and complexities
of the human form. The goal of my portrait work is to capture
the soul of the
individual–not just their likeness.
I’m inspired by the figurative works (to name a few) of
Sargent, Fechin,
Thayer, Caravaggio and John Giarrizzo.
John, my art professor at Northwest
College,
instilled in me a great love of art and an immense desire to
create it.
His work and ideas have found their way into mine.
I see my work as a self-portrait in that the subjects of my paintings
are
all a part of me, each painting a learning experience and an
exploration of myself as an artist.”
