- About Me:
- It is fact that in all societies, membership requires that each individual meet obligations that are essential to the development of the greater good. Historically the Artist has been assigned the role of witness to the contemporary events of the group. I offer you my humble attempt to bear witness to my time
.
I have chosen the faces of ordinary people as the prism of reflection through my lens to the world. The emotions etched on those faces are intended to be a reflection of how effective we have collectively discharged our obligation to care for the least among us.
I have chosen Scratchboard as the medium for this body of work for several reasons. The first reason is that philosophically the rendering of objects from a pure black surface allows me to feel that I am discovering images that exist and that I am only a participant in making them visible. Another reason is practical in that the process is a nice fit to the way that my mind is organized. The medium forces one to compose in a logical sequence so that you bring together disparate elements into a conglomerate of orders that blend to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result. Finally, T he limitations inherent in scratchboard forces the composer to seek the essential only. It is this essence that I endeavor to communicate.

We all continue to be amazed and humbled by your artworks. I hope to meet you in person someday. Wil
Like the music of individual bells
That ring together as one
Understanding each other
And where they are coming from
Like the keys of a piano
Black and White
And all the shades are just right
This one important time
This colorful life
No reason to fight
Just emit our unique chimes
In concert we'll find
Our connection.
Thank you for the friendship.
Your art blew my mind, the language it speaks, is amazing, i am in awe..
thank you for letting me experience it.
Peace

... stay-tuned!
I see that you are based in San Francisco, but do you ever have shows on the east coast?
Thank you for the invite. Your depth and vision into our obligation is astounding. I can appreciate your heart felt passion for those that represent the least amongst us and feel that your art is a wonderful expression of that. I look forward to communicating more with you.
It leaves me itching to grab my pen to write about how it makes me feel.
Truly inspirational.
