"Creativity drives my process.  I may have coined the phrase, “style is the death of creativity”.  One thing that people comment on when seeing my work is the diversity of subject and style.  This may not the most commercially viable business strategy and can actually hurt the “brand”. However, once painting feels less like creating, and more like manufacturing, I tend to move on.  Still, the viewer will notice some consistencies.  

As to an artist statement; the paintings are the statement.  There is no hidden or deep meaning.  I tend to paint what I believe to be beautiful, whether that’s a steel mill or a seashore. 

Regarding my audience.  I think I’d paint regardless of knowing that others will see my work. I do, however, shamelessly admit to the pleasure I take when my efforts result in moving viewer emotionally."
