I am a Contemporary Narrative Realist, a visual story-teller in the traditions of Rockwell and Dali. My artwork and the creative process that attend it is inspired by the belief that there is an infinite Creator, and through whose grace I am able to create. I like using common materials and ordinary subject matter to convey uncommon and extraordinary concepts. In my paintings they are the things that define the connection between humanity and divinity: emotion, curiosity, wonderment, innocence, desire, freedom, love and joy—also pain, suffering, grief, and loss. The story of redemption. I want my art to surprise and delight, and for viewers to see in the expressions of our common experience things of innate beauty. It's these experiences of the human soul which connect us, and by sharing them through my art, I hope to bring healing and unity to a disconnected society.
