About The Artwork

The icons of the glam rock era are the paragons of superstardom. They are still held up as superhuman gods and monsters and were both heroes to me and a source of personal inspiration. In my continuing exploration of the birth and death of the American dream, I was drawn to a series exploring these idols. In many ways, their preening confidence, slick fluidity, and foppish artistry set against a gold-plated lifestyle redefined what it was to be successful and what it was to be a man. Their image was aspiration defined. Those qualities are captured in the juxtapositions evident in these works. The art's flowering, glittering layers are at once gritty and Edwardian. The colors, shifting and dappled. The juxtapositions as fascinating as the icons of my teenage dreams. For my musical mindset for these works, check out Alice Cooper on the truly great "Billion Dollar Babies."

BIOGRAPHY I am most interested in exploring belief systems, the birth and death of the American Dream, the nature and validity of desire, as well as identity and loss on a personal level. Visually, my work lies at the intersection of the organic, the geometric, the iconic, the abstract, and the found. All of that takes shape into mostly large-scale assemblage pieces that hover in between mediums. I feel like my body of work can be encapsulated in three words :: abstraction, definition and deconstruction. I have had works appear in juried art shows across the US, shown with selected galleries, have shown in several cities with The Other Art Fair, had my work featured on the album art for multi-platinum-selling musical artist Andy Grammer, been chosen from over 100,000 artists to be featured in the Saatchi Art catalog, had my work published in multiple art magazines and publications, and was selected for inclusion in the London Art Biennale. STATEMENT I am a mixed media visual artist. The rhythmic, the esoteric, the mystic, the poetic, and the intuitive drive my work. All of those shape my aesthetic and give my pieces backbone. The breadth of the sublime, the mist of inner spaces, and the intrinsically American are also found on my canvases. My long background as both a writer and designer roots the abstract work in language, both conceptual and visual.
