"They combine 3D elements with 2D painted planes which are almost billboard-like presentations intermixed in the work in a novel way. How do you approach such a thing? One of the great things about making art is discovering something that sprang from seemingly nowhere. In retrospect it looks logical but in the moment it's an epiphany and suddenly it's exciting to explore it."
"My studio is across the street from Creative Woodworking and they have a box where they put scrap wood for anyone who wants it and it's irresistible to me and there were a bunch of oddly shaped things with multiple sides so I painted on them realizing that different themes could coexist depending on which side and that led to adding sculptural elements and words and basically opened a new horizon for me."
New mixed-media sculptures combine three-dimensional elements with two-dimensional painted planes that often read as billboard-like presentations. An accidental discovery using scrap wood from a nearby woodworking shop led to painting on oddly shaped, multi-sided pieces, revealing that different themes could coexist depending on the side shown. That process progressed to adding sculptural elements, words, and layered objects, opening new horizons. Early diorama-making as a child created a persistent attraction to sculpture. Sculpture remains a compelling supplement to a lifelong commitment to painting, which continues to be the primary focus.
