Artist Statement
Things that interest me create a sense of life in my work. In my direct observation pieces that sense is almost exact; I try to draw the subject as realistically as possible, almost like I’m trying to draw a photograph. In other drawings and ceramic work, that sense of life also exists but less realistically. The messages portrayed in my work differ with each piece. It’s in my direct observation pieces that the message is pretty straightforward. I drew what seemed interesting to me so that the audience could see the subject through my eyes. I want the viewer to wonder about the message, to guess the meaning of the piece.
I feel that art states an opinion or even tells a story by using images instead of words. In my work each piece tells a story, and sometimes states an opinion, using imagery.
