Artist Statement:

Art has always been an exploration of symbols for me. I never grow tired of discovering and learning new methods of giving visual symbols meaning. Sometimes I enjoy distorting the symbols so the viewer only gets part of the information. I hope this forces them to evaluate the way they thought before. But more often the information needs to be clear and that requires me to gain an understanding of the message and how the intended recipient expects to recognize it. In a world where I statistically have about six seconds to grab someone's attention I hope to hold him or her for ten.
