Having worked many years as a designer and art director in the commercial arts field has served to cultivate my visual sense to the degree to which the cumulative experience as a visual creator provides me with the tools to create confidently in the fine arts space. After all, it’s still about color, space, subject/object, composition, nuance, and best of all, wonder and discovery.

Much of my work typically begins on a small scale. I use acrylic or gouache on “4x5” color paper. Those that stand out to me are scanned on a flatbed scanner at a very high resolution. Once in digital form I explore and develop the art through an extensive iterative process. Other assemblage and collage works are made using scraps of printed waste paper of the design projects I’ve done over the years, then recontextualized for the art I make now.
