Finding the Path Through the Woods

​

When creating new work, I often start with a narrative I find compelling, something that ignites enough curiosity to sends me down a path to find the best way to manifest that story - that idea - in a visual medium; I want to leave clues for the viewer like breadcrumbs through the forest, hoping they will find their own way in.

​

Employing (sometimes dark) humor, expressionistic line work and the gorgeous luminosity of oil paint on glass, I always hope to draw people in a bit closer to the story, whatever that might be, and encourage a dialog once they are there,
