The artwork presented here looks to nature and the stories men have written to explain nature for its primary subject matter and conceptual starting points; be it mythological texts or science... the cosmos or the mind. My work attempts to piece together a framework which we can look into and see ourselves looking back.
These paintings are produced with oil paint and egg tempera; a methodology which is utterly of the western painting tradition. Southern European, Flemish and Russian masters provide me my historical lineage; the high and folk art of the world provides general awe and humility. The contemporary artists I respect and reference are multitudes.
The Three drawing galleries provide a glimpse of the many variations on themes, ideas and experiments that never made it to canvas. The illustration work presented is both professional work and personal work which I feel gives a more complete overall presentation of my abilities.
Each Gallery on this site has a brief description directly explaining the series. Thank you very much for visiting and I hope that you enjoy what I have to offer!
