Bio & Statement

Art is a thread connecting the many passions I value in life. Painting and illustration are two of my favorite modes for pulling together the vast array of subjects that fascinate me, people I've met, and places and events I've experienced, into an evolving series of statements and reflections of the world.

The creation of art is one form of visual story-telling. What each viewer brings to their experience of an image is as important as the image they're observing. When this is realized, both the viewer and the image are liberated, and the image truly speaks to the individual in a unique way.

I describe the series of twelve Austin Calendar images as a "labor of love" for the city. I have lived in Austin almost continually since 1994, and love this town. At the same time, I also value travel and know that my experiences living in and traveling to other spots have enabled me to appreciate Austin in new ways.
