Artist's Statement
A painting is a communication, like a sentence or statement, about a subject. The painting’s elements can be complex or simple. In its simple form a painting can convey beauty. In a complex form, a painting can make a comment on popular culture or document something historically. Many of my paintings make bold comments or capture pop culture. This comes from my school of painting “Chicago Impressionism”. My school was formed by thousands of hours of direct study of the art at the Chicago Art Institute.
A comprehensive analysis of the sketch books of Renoir, Seurat, Sargent, Monet. My school is the independent study of art itself - a study of the beauty of the Chicago Art Institute. I’m concerned with both self-study and visual beauty. Having spent years in both spiritual and scientific exploration, I approach painting as a twofold enterprise: to convey a view of the world which is holistic, and to bring forth the vigor I see in the world through vivid landscapes, intimate portraits, and universal myths.
