artist statement

My art work is a response to one of the deepest calls in my life, the call to create. I personally have a tough time respecting and loving people who only tear things down, rip things apart, or constantly critique things in life without ever creating. Stop talking about how bad things are and start helping things get better. Stop destroying, start building.

I have always had a fascination with the viewer. My work is about the interaction between the common John and Jane Doe and my art. I am not so caught up in the process of expressing myself that I disregard what the viewer might think. Can I manipulate the viewer into having a connection with my piece?
