Artist Statement

After two decades in commercial design, I create fine art with a transformed perspective. My paintings merge the analytical precision of my design background with unrestrained creative exploration—an engineer's methodology applied to artistic vision, filtered through a Gen-Xer's cynical wit to pop-culture references.

My contemporary art invites viewers to see the world as I do - where everyday objects like motors or pocket knives reveal their complex poetry. Or where the simplicity of vintage illustrations is reimagined and elevated beyond nostalgia into contemporary relevance.  These subjects become vehicles for examining how we assign meaning to objects, how nostalgia shapes perception, and where beauty emerges from function.

My process begins with extensive sketching and material experimentation before committing to canvas, layering acrylic paint and pen work to achieve both precision and spontaneity. The resulting works occupy a deliberate space between accessibility and sophistication—contemporary pieces that reward both immediate appreciation and nostalgic connection. Selected paintings are then digitally mastered to museum standards, allowing broader access through limited editions while preserving the exclusivity of the hand-painted originals.

This work speaks to collectors who value technical craftsmanship alongside nostalgic charm, who appreciate art that functions equally well in intimate residential settings and dynamic corporate environments. Each piece reflects my belief that the most compelling contemporary art emerges when rigorous craft serves authentic artistic inquiry.
