Artist Statement

Somewhere between "hype" and "hope" exists a cast of characters - animals - all of whom have been with me throughout my life. The light of their poses is a colorful one, reflecting an outlook on being that is both optimistic and realistic. Self-aware shadows cast an outline of total assurance. Their dynamic emotions project a certain carnal freedom, fixated in the present moment, providing a welcome respite from our human perception of time.
