Everything is a story. Nothing is arbitrary.
Artists are observers, carefully crafting impressions into media or performances. A visual artist, I use shapes and colors to define the message, to create an impression. Impressions sometimes bright, bold, provoking; as often, simply soothing, pleasing.
My background in graphic design has had an obvious impact on my art. Design without gimmickry, using straightforward shapes and uncomplicated color palettes to tell the story. The craft as important as the visual. The visual made as simple as possible.
Cultures, too, have had an impact on my art. Often the themes presented in my art are inspired by the myths and traditions of our world. All cultures play a role in our history. We are the stories and observations of all who have preceded us.
The primal, allegorical nature of portrayals found in Native American, Asian, Pacific Island, African, and Australian Aboriginal societies influences my designs and palettes. Sensitive to concerns presented through cultural appropriation, I respect these contributing cultures, studying them to understand their history, appreciating their impact on life and art.
Cultures have defined humankind. Stories handed down to be shared.
Observe. Relate.
Keep it simple. |
