Basically, I paint stuff.

Though I've worked as a full-time artist for several years now, I've yet to come up with a proper statement or thesis. I find the concept in itself difficult. I mean, to try to apply some all-encompassing theme, concept or clear, distant goal to my body of work, to me, seems not only daunting, but quite limiting in many ways. I've found that most of my goals change with each different series of work, as does the inspiration, the technique, the medium, etc.... not to mention, my perception of the world around me.

Instead, I try to view most of my work as study. Through these studies I'm able to work out various aspects of color, contrast, composition, texture, line, space, medium, and technique in preparation for my masterpiece... that will someday reveal itself to me. :)
