Artist Exhibition Statement

I do not analyze or intellectualize the meaning of my paintings. What I see in a painting and what you see in a painting could be entirely different. This is the quality in art that makes it very special, be it a short story, a poem, a painting, or a piece of music. Artistic analysis cannot force the viewer to find what he or she does not see. An artistic statement is a little like asking the artist, what does it mean? The meaning is different for each viewer.

My goal is to bring the viewer back to the painting, again and again. As simply as possible, I want to create a sense of mystery using light, color, and composition.
