Artist's Statement
MY MANY LIVES AND MOODS:
After college, I began my Art career as a restoration artist with CPI photography. In their art department, using my airbrush to save family memories. I had the privilege of restoring old photographs, rendering ancestors a little more beautiful and or noble then before. Some were removed for the good of history. Airbrush work is very empowering.
At this point in my life my interests are eclectic to put it mildly.
My mission is to capture an image and a piece of the soul of my subject. Doing so in a variety of styles.
*Traditional; Realism has its merits but it must have a kick of sassiness.
*Impressionism; Fun paintings, bright colors and lighting to play on the subject.
*Surrealism; unexpected juxtapositions, imagery exploitation.
This show is a collection of my evolution through life and its changes.
