Inspired by the act of creation itself, as well as the desire to depict that which has never existed before, otherworldly creatures are brought to life through line and color. Having always had a strong sensitivity to the weird and fantastic, these creatures emerge naturally from my imagination. I choose to work in a semi abstract style because it heightens the alien nature of the subject matter and conveys the sense of something encroaching on our world from outside. I want viewers to see both the strange and familiar in my work, to be intrigued by the unusual appearance of these entities while sensing the all too human emotions and motivations they harbor.
