Artist Statement

My work is my autobiography.

My work floats between architecture, visual media, and music composition. How do you describe volume…density. Can you see it…hear it? What does a line sound like? What do one hundred lines sound like…look like.? These are the questions that guide my work, my day and push my curiosity.

Creating work is a journey that may or may not have a conclusion. Numerous national and international group and solo exhibitions have pushed his work in directions that surprise.

Abstraction is not a style, but a state of mind.
