About the Artist

In my work, I am inspired by true individualism. Especially those whose self-determinism defied odds. Although some of my subjects are known, I am more interested in the obscure. These subjects: scientists, artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, friends and family, are people whom I admire, both for their work and their character.

I find inspiration in black and white photography postcards, foreign and art magazines and am indebted to google images for archaic finds. I love color like the expressionists and find the purity of primary color intoxicating. Every piece, I strive for more intense play between complimentary colors, never using the color black. In the mixed-media pieces, I use caran d’ache neocolor II water-soluble wax pastels and acrylic on unstretched canvas. The oil paintings are on canvas, linen or wood.

The subject dictates the form, ranging from traditional portraits, to conceptual, to participatory installation art.

This same density is found in every atomic nucleus in your body.
