ARTISTS STATEMENT

I choose to paint objects and icons.

My fascination with icons as a pictoral language is based upon my design and advertising background, communicating a message in its most simplistic form. I try to create an instant happening for the viewer with each composition.

Portraits have always intrigued me and in my latest body of work I have integrated icons and ideas of someone’s personality based upon their bedside nightstand.

I want to challenge the way we view everyday ideas in our modern day culture by representing the common object singularly, reducing it to an iconic graphic form and adding an energetic twist.
