A Different Artist Statement


Art is personal.  As an artist everything I create is influenced by my experiences and view of the world.  I make work about what I know.  Simple interactions between people, the subtle differences in the ways we look at the world, and the small everyday joys of life are all aspects of the world that inspire me as an artist.  What we experience is all we know for certain, but by keeping an open mind, and letting ourselves experience the world, we can learn even more.  I think we should make art about what we know and what affects us personally, so that is what I do.
I’ve been exploring multiple different approaches to my art.  The use of technology in art is one that highly intrigues me, so I’ve explored computer animation and modeling, as well as video art.  This time-based media gives a new dimension to my work that I find exciting.  I’ve also explored the fields of painting, drawing and sculpture. By exploring different methods and mediums I hope to broaden my perspective, and learn more about myself as an artist.  This exploration of techniques is vital to my perspective on art.
