Artists Registry

My work as an architect has informed my ongoing work as an artist. Architecture, as a significant art form intensive in its use of resources, demands a rigor and discipline of collective effort to be properly planned and implemented. My work as an artist focuses on a path of individual effort and is centered around three primary concerns: ideation, process and materiality. In the words of Gauguin,

“Do not paint too much after nature. Art is an abstraction. Extract it from nature while dreaming in front of it and think more of the creation which will be the result.”

Each compositional idea that I explore through various materials expands a growing understanding of inherent possibilities that might be contained in future compositions. The evolving nature of this vision and heuristic use of many types of media should not be confused with lacking focus; as I’ve been quoted in the past, 'I’m not portraying the world, I’m creating one.’
