As a contemporary abstract artist, I have always believed in encapsulating a deeper sense of authenticity in every artwork. For me, art is more than an image, it becomes a presence that influences the environment or space around it. Art, especially abstract, innately demands the embodiment of an almost tangible physical power. That body of the artwork dramatically effects the viewers interaction with the piece. Thus, I always aspire to preserve my initial inspiration, as I attempt to impart a sense of immediacy in my work. Through necessity or design, for the last twenty years my work has revolved around the ability to recycle disused and discarded paint.
