ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork captures the mystery of emotions, thoughts, and feelings that I see in my mind as rooms of distorted space and color.
The prominent body of my work consists of highly structured mixed media paintings and sculptures, with bold colors, textures, and many layers of depth. To capture best what I see in my mind I have pioneered resin painting techniques that feel like something is hidden inside the work, like there is some mystery that I can't quite reach.
My studio often looks more like a workshop as my works require sculptural processes like grinding, cutting, etching, and polishing. I create in series of 5 to 20 works following a theme from the details of my life experiences such as, treating diseases in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, leading large groups of tech workers, or just my mundane or crazy life.
ARTIST BIO
I am a Seattle Native and I love this city
- Art was usually the only class that I was doing well in.
- Home has also been Papua New Guinea, San Francisco, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas.
- Every year my teachers told my parents that I was not meeting my potential, or worse. I have degrees in Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering and worked a ton of years making cool technical stuff like eye-controlled robots and cancer therapy equipment.
- My first marriage was at age 19, and contrary to all the haters, it seems to still be working.
- One of our sons is a builder and the other is a high school teacher. I am so proud of them.
- I have a phone that connects directly to Kurt Cobain.
BIo CONTINUED
- Jack Whitten is an amazing artist and inspiration. My biggest disappointment is that I never contacted him before he died. Your heroes are not forever - don't wait to tell them!
- My band is called Daisy Day Band because all of the good names were taken.
- I'm a full time artist working in mixed media and pushing the limits of the mediums that I use.
- My studio is a mess. My processes require cutting, sanding, grinding, and lots of loud tools. I love it!
- We have to rotate the art in our small home. I can't stop buying art from the amazing artists in our city.
- I used to think that everyone could see sounds, feelings, and conversations. Then I found out that synesthesia is a defect of my brain… that I cherish.
- I cook. I love to cook for friends. I love to eat good food with people I love. Drinks also. Yes, drinks.
- Minivans are not just for big families.
- I love Seattle and can't wait to reopen.
- Art is my passion.
