Swarm #2 Small Room
This is a whimsical piece where I added a large chocolate egg to a nest. I like the contrast between the two elements. In creating each of my pieces, I take many still life photos to see how the elements work together. Once the photos are taken, I sort through and find the images I feel have the most impact. If I like what I see, I make an archival ink jet print and paint around the image. I like the difference between the preciseness of the photo and the more painterly qualities of the background.

Artist Statement

I call this series of my work Altered Reality. It is a melding of still life and surrealism. These works are about contrasts and differences, they are playful and dream-like. I like putting together odd and ordinary things. I also like the merging of the photos into the paint, a way to emphasize what is real and what is not.

Best advice you’ve been given • Keep working no matter what.

Goals/Aspirations • To keep showing and selling my work and continue to develop new work.

Favorite artist • Magriette because of the objects he puts together in his painting.

What are you reading • When the Killing's Done by T.C. Boyle.

Hope to learn how to • Kayak.

You spend a lot of time thinking about • The landscape around me, I love looking at it and watching the clouds and how they change from day to day.

Favorite musical artist • I like a variety, from Gregorian chant, to jazz, blues and gospel. I also love going to the opera, not just for the music but for the staging and theater of it all.

What do you do when not creating art • Swim, hike, cook and play golf.
