ARTIST’S STATEMENT
"My art work is generally categorized as surrealistic, but when I instruct, I teach everything from acrylic to encaustic methods, portraiture, figurative work, landscapes, abstraction, and so on. My side gig of teaching sometimes spills over into my painting practice, segueing into my own artwork, producing an unexpected variety in genres flying off my easel. Opposite of being a lack of focus, I see this mix of genres as the research, study, and planning that leads to my surrealistic paintings."
