I try to make honest work. For this reason I treat themes that flow from my own experience.  I want people to understand my work, even though it is personal.  I hope my art communicates at some level; ideally on several levels. 

I’ve been accused of thinking too much.  Perhaps sometimes I also feel too much.  My godmother used to tell me in broken English, “I love you too much.”  I was glad for that. She and my godfather encouraged me to make art as a child. I don’t make art as a child any more.  But I owe them my ongoing interest for making things that mean something. 

I have raised a family ahead of my art.  They were always my priority. I have lived a common man’s life. The ordinary life has crowded out the art making for many years.  Children grow older and start their own families. My priorities are changing.  I am recapturing my lost love for drawing and painting.
