artist's statement

I am an artist and an engineer. 

As much as this might seem to be a contradiction in terms, I believe that both mathematics and painting are art forms, one in the same. Engineers give us the ability to explore distant planets and remote galaxies, while artists bring us on captivating escapades deep within our minds and souls. Werner Von Braun took us to the moon, and Vincent Van Gogh gave us a “Starry Night.”  My goal is to meld these two worlds together by encapsulating an expansive universe and an examined essence.

Through simple shapes, primary colors, and bold lines, I diffuse a technical mind into common people and settings.  Exploring, deconstructing, and then resurrecting the subject, forms a new entity, captivating in theme. I believe that by reemploying the fundamental shapes and colors, materializing a more critical focus, one ultimately allows the quintessence of the object’s soul to emerge.

My artistic vision is complex and simplistic, infinite and finite. I strive to unite these conflicting theories as an artist who takes you both to distant places and deep within yourself.
