Artist statement

The desire to realistically render an animal’s likeness is both universal and ancient. My artwork is a constant evolution and reflection of my life’s journey to fulfill that desire. Graphite drawings evolved into pen & ink, acrylic, glass etching, & now, Pyrography/wood- burning. The elements of working with/on wood have given the series the source it needed: a symbolic representation of the permanent mark we make on this earth. The use of nature is fundamental to the concept of Skulls & Souls, as both its muse and medium. It is the nature of both art and science to bring an understanding to the world around us and it is the responsibility of the artist to preserve and represent the world during their time.
