Considering myself an abstract surrealist artist, I love vast imaginary spaces as subject matter. The expressiveness and precision of line inspires me and much of my work is linear. I populate my spaces with figures and objects that are childlike, comical, and tragic. The abstract landscapes they inhabit are fantastic with some literal elements. I play with density and concretion at the most general level when I compose using the literal image as a diving board from which to jump into abstract, imaginary spaces.  My realistic style is somewhat impressionistic and deconstructed. During the art making process, I work intuitively. Many of my ideas come as a stream of consciousness as I work as if viewing a waking dream and recording what I see or feel.
