ARTIST STATEMENT

Themes of self-identification, transcendence of the ego, and living in the moment are currently finding voice through my work.  I am influenced by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, which emphasize the importance of living in the now while eschewing burdens of either past or future, as well as the art of 14^th century Flemish masters, British artists Gilbert and George, and 1960’s Pop art.

all true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness - eckhart tolle
