Artist’s Statement
I grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee and I have spent many hours since wandering the trails of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. My imagery reflects these experiences with nature and culture and sometimes just ordinary life experiences which lend themselves to the painted image. Most of the characters in my work are fictional and the settings are often constructed from elements encountered in my experiences. I have come to think of my process as creating fictions from selected truths, unresolved narratives open to viewer interpretation and association.
I like the idea that people can identify with the depth of thought or the questions that arise, without the need for the same understanding of the work. It is sometimes the human capacity for emotion and empathy that connects viewers with a work of art. It doesn’t matter so much if my story comes through. The art is in the shared humanity.
