Less is More. Less is a Bore.

Many things inspire my work – old signs, household objects, vehicles and tools are king; but travel, exploration and perusing markets really move the needle for me. I like the surprise of discovering, or even better, rediscovering some interesting object or graphic and folding it into something I am creating.

I really do have fun and find meaning in creating these pieces.

In a former life, I was a designer and often if I needed something made, I would have to draw or draft it to have it produced. I use this approach to create my art - listing objects, graphics and found text on a grid pad, making scale drawings, and determining the placement of each in the panel. These planned elements are the majority of my work, but I always leave room for wholly organic inspiration as well.
