s t a t e m e n t
Frankly, I don't think of myself as a regional artist, maybe "north american' or "eARThling".
I'm mostly interested in an abstract vision, in my painting and my photography. Sometimes I do paint an allegorical/iconic abstract, which are like visual journal entries. Although I photograph real people-places-beings also, my personal favorites are abstractions.
I prefer working large format paintings and photo-prints.
If I'm painting big, I use multiple panels for logistical ease.
In photography, I prefer huge vinyl prints with grommets for hanging, and are now available with fine detailed printing. This format requires no frame and is industrial and clean.
