Born October 20, 1966. Writing seriously since the age of 19. Graduated Harvard University in 1996 with a degree in English and American Literature and Language. Working as an artist for three years, showing in New York and Connecticut, U.S.A. I started making art as a way of approaching the spiritual through an act of creation.
Finding the higher power is like trying to find the perfect line – spiritual perfection can be attempted, surrounded, sketched and stroked, almost never achieved; but the central truth – the perfect line – can be suggested to the imagination. Like the core of a poetic metaphor, the truth, the line, is revealed. My works are in nature mystical and metaphysical.
I work out of an interest in philosophy and religion, dealing with Modernist concepts of mythic significance. My latest works are about trying to write the soul of the subject. I want to take these ideas to a further conceptual plane – to develop a system of visual symbolism and to refine my rough technique to a point from which I can execute the full range of work from my imagination and observations of the world. I want to find a way to balance the representational observed with the abstract imagined, to explore the alternate realities reflected in art. In my work, I desire to explore further the fusion of real and imagined. I believe that virtually all periods of art resolve certain universal truths and have valid visions of life.
