Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?

Conceptual, Painting, Sculpture, Video

I am...

an artist that want's to use whatever medium I see fit to express what I need to express. Paint, paper, canvas, walls, plaster, styrofoam, resins, sound, video, words - all of it.

About my artwork

My work follows my life experiences and how I see the world. It is most often based on relationships either with myself or others. I am drawn to continual self evolution. I hope that my expressions are able to resonate with the life experiences of others - enough that one can pause and consider their ideas or perceptions just enough to create a small opening of new possibilities. Perhaps with the consideration of new possibilities, we all might evolve.

Artists I like

I have so many!!! I love Bill Viola, Vito Acconci, Pipilotti Rist, Monica Bastiaans, Julian Rosefeldt is amazing, Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson, Juame Plensa, Evan Penny, and on and on. I am everyday discovering new artists I like and love - many of whom I've found here on this site so please take the time to check out as many as you can!

Interests

I spend a fair amount of time studying techniques for the latest artistic project I may be struggling with. I am also deeply interested in psychology, the human spirit and the many corners of our own psyche. I am intrested with the reality of the hear and now, the feeling of life in my body and blood in my veins. I believe in the force of positive intention and often use it as a source of inspiration in my work.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?

If you ever get a chance to see Bill Viola's "Passion" or "Las Passiones" it's a must see. I also recently saw a video installation by Julian Rosefeldt that left me in awe.

The centre of the artworld is

nowhere and everywhere
