statement

This drawing is part of a series resulting from my desire to create work that has a living presence.  I drew inspiration from iconography as well as the work and writings of George Inness.  Inness said that "the true end of art is not to imitate a fixed material condition, but to represent a living motion."  The intent behind every mark I make is to give life to an idea.  My hope is that life is always evident in the work I create.
