When did you really get into art?
I have been drawing my whole life. I began my mixed media works almost nine
years ago.
How did you come to the realization that you should try your luck at art on a
more serious level?
The art sort of took over me and I just kept up with the flow. As my technique
improved, the quality of the work improved too, I began getting shows and people
wanted to own the work.
How did you discover the particular style that you have?
Besides art, I have a fascination with philosophy. I was looking for a way that
I could express my philosophical ideas in a visual medium. Since my
philosophies revolve around the connection between the body and soul, blood
seemed to be a prefect medium for this exploration.
How would you describe your style?
Abstract, mixed media, spiritual
What kind of success have you had with your art?
I have been fortunate to have shows, have my work published and maintain my
inspiration.
What kind of message, if any, do you try to convey
through your art?
I want to move people by the sheer energy of the pieces!! I am also interested
in posing life questions such as: What is the soul? Where do our souls come
from? Are our souls bound to our flesh? How do our souls interact with other
living entities? Where do our souls go once our physical bodies perish? My
work is less about answering these questions and more about examining all the
possibilities and proposing that all living things share a common thread.
Sum up your art in one word.
Explosive energy, inner light, organic patterns reminiscent of tree rings,
aerial views of crop circles and bodily orbs: my latest series, "ALIVE,"
explores the physical and intangible connections between the body-spirit and the
Universe. What is the soul? Where do our souls come from? Are our souls bound to
our flesh? Where do our souls go once our physical bodies perish?
I began incorporating blood into my work almost nine years ago as a way to
explore these questions. Blood, essential to life but most often symbolizing
physical death, takes on a new form in a new, regenerative context. By
combining and preserving blood, a primitive artistic medium, with modern,
synthetic materials such as acrylics and resin, I celebrate the rebirth process
I believe the body-spirit undergoes once life, as we know it, has ended. The
resulting works become moments frozen in time, suggesting that our body-spirits
exist in a multitude of physical and spiritual forms--continuums that transcend
our individual lives only to be reborn as something different, something new,
something that is part of who we already were.
Any additional comments?
Peace and compassion to all mankind! That's what it's about!
