Artist's Statement

 

     "As a visual artist, my world is an ever-changing collection of interesting shapes, colors, values, and textures. Everything that I see is either consciously or subconsciously broken down into elements that I might use as the inspiration for my next painting. It does not always have to be grandiose or breathtaking but rather a suitable collection of shapes and values that I can build upon or rearrange to my liking. The colors that I select are a personal choice that I can alter or exaggerate depending on the subject and my feeling at the time that I paint it.  

     My audience is for both fine art collectors and for a commercial design client’s via product packaging design.  A well-designed product package is as crucial as the product itself.  The design should be visually appealing which is where I use my artistry, and with my knowledge and use of industry software technology I will be able to create a very usable product.   A package design can be produced using both realistic and abstract art depending on the product.  A good design on a package makes the consumer prefer your product over the competitor’s no matter what the product is. 

     Creating a work of art is not just something that I do; it's the foundation of who and what I am. Every time that I put a brush to paper or canvas it's a new experience, and another eagerly anticipated step on my journey as a visual artist."
