Artist statement

Primarily self-taught, I find the flexibility and range of possibilities offered by the digital medium to be an excellent means for expressing my creative feelings and ideas. The creative process leads me frequently into unforeseen areas with some surprising results. The conflicts and complementarities of the inner and outer worlds play a significant role in the content of my work. Ezra Pound once gave the definition of an artistic image as an “intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.\" Much of my work results in emotional-thought images which are indeed time-captures of these complexes.
