Artist Statement
I make images that are interesting to me. I do my best to reward my
viewers with a certain amount of enrichment if they are willing to
invest a moment of their time to look at my work. I find that my
personal interests are eclectic, and my prints tend to reflect that
influence. I grew up in Flint, Michigan. My building images capture
the optimistic city of my childhood and provide a positive counter-balance
to todays generally negative perception of my city in transition. My
fantasy images are a satisfying outlet for my sense of history, both
real and imagined, while my abstracts allow me to drift into the
unrestricted realm of pure creativity.
I use Serigraphy as my primary mode of expression, although I
regularly work with Intaglio and Relief processes. I avoid using photo
screens and emulsions preferring instead to use glue and tusche, paper
and other manually generated stencils. I use the best materials and
papers available and print/publish all my own work. My edition sizes
are typically under 30. Smaller editions allow me the luxury of sharing
more of my unique visions with others.
