Artist statement 

Over the past several years, I have worked with a wide range of materials, and (most recently) including digitally applied techniques, to create pieces that defy classification as either paintings or sculpture. 

My aesthetic expresses itself in the complete resolution of the various materials I have chosen both mechanically and aesthetically. 

For me, there is an immense satisfaction in the process itself. 

The tension between the materials and the combination of analog and digital methods, has resulted in work that is at peace with itself. 

My current work draws from a minimalist vocabulary. Compositions of light, color, and idea fuse together in these orchestrations of surface and structure. There is a quiet grace in this current work, and a reduction to visual essence.

The luminescence and reductive elegance in this work is its drama. The glowing color fields with a network of surfaces refusing to be simply described or pinned down. 

There is a certain mystery and intrigue in this body of work that I find compelling.
