Big teeth, bear claws and bold colors, oh my! These are all ingredients that
wriggle their way into my paintings and drawings that focus on matters of
whimsy and the imagination, as well as the relationship between people and all
types of creatures. My work finds its roots in two very different areas. First, I like
to create for the benefit and enjoyment of others. I like to amuse people as well
as intrigue them with how I pair up images in a collage-like style. Second, I like
to create work as a cathartic process also using images of people and animals.
Through these drawings, I hope to convey a storyline that can be identified with.
Above all else, I strive for my artwork to connect with others in some way, no
matter how small.
