Artist Statement:
My creative process begins with a fluid stroke of a pen on paper, which sparks an idea for a free-flowing design that can dynamically shift in depth and direction. From there, I sketch and build the layout for an interesting composition, relying on intuition to establish a color palette that guides me as I refine the artwork into a highly polished dimensional design.
My ultimate artistic goal is to create abstract art that challenge the viewer to take a closer look, inviting them to contemplate the intricate illusions that emerge from the viewers perspective. By crafting works that can uniquely break traditional borders demand deeper observation, I hope to spark new insights and encourage a greater appreciation for the art world around us.
With formal training received at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI, and experience working at Detroit art studios, I have enjoyed a highly successful 35-year career as a professional freelance artist in the advertising and marketing industry. During that time I was working as an image specialist in illustration, design, photo retouching, and video editing/FX. Now, I am eager to pursue my passion for creating my own art and bring my unique style and vision to life. My goal is to showcase my artwork in galleries and art events, collaborate with fellow artists and creatives, and continue to always grow as an artist.
