Artist Statement
Painting as a place to think
Symbolism dominates the modern world. Rarely do we encounter an image that does not convey some type of symbolic meaning. I believe that the weight of symbolic meaning has come to obscure the value of aesthetic aspects of the image. My work provides an escape from the noise of symbolism. By focusing on simple forms that do not refer to anything outside themselves, my work allows the viewer to meditate on the value of the purely aesthetic aspects of the image.
