Artist’s Statement:

All people are artists. Each of us carries within, the ability and the desire to create. This ability may be manifested in ways both extraordinary and mundane. Artists interpret the world and the society in which they live and work. Their works convey visions of the objects, the ideas, and the desires of that world and that society. This is done to stimulate and encourage others to feel and to think about their feelings and to think about the world around them.
What is out there and why does it look that way? That is the question that stimulates me the most. From the very small to the immense, I have always been fascinated by the logic of structures. How does this thing go together? This is the question I ask myself about trees, cats, insects, locomotives, bridges, mathematics, science, the universe and human beings. That, for me, is the satisfaction of doing art.
I grew up in a city with its massive structures, large buildings, bridges and stadiums, but also access to a small portion of nature with its plants and bugs and birds and the night sky. I loved facts. My favorite reading was the encyclopedia. I loved drawing. I drew large and powerful animals, copying pictures I found in books. I taught myself to draw, first by copying from books and then by copying from life.
Today my delight is to portray complex shapes in exquisite detail and elegant forms with as little as a fluid line. For me art is like mathematics, which I have studied, because, in the end, logic, whether of a mathematical proof or an artistic composition is the goal.
