How would you describe your style
The best description of the art I do, regarding style, is Magical Realism. My approach is to seek out as much depth as possible. I want (need) my work to appear so very real, and drag the onlooker in for a better view.
What subjects do you enjoy working on?
My work is very consistent, which allows me to choose from a variety of subject matter. The subjects that I am most often drawn to are in the fantasy realm. However, occasionally I feel a need to create based on other fascinating topics.
What medium(s) do you work in?
Wood. Specifically, my go-to species are Basswood, Birch, and Butternut.
How has your process evolved?
Evolution for my work has been achieved through depth, detail, and color. Over the past 20 plus years, I found that getting more depth provided me with greater realism, detail with more believability, and color with vivid emotion.
What got you started creating art?
Boy Scouts, as a child. Further, I think the creative spirit was always there and unconsciously “looking” for a way to be expressed. The thought of these two factors, when they collided, was like nothing I ever felt before.
What artists influence your work?
Though my own work is done mainly in high relief, I am influenced by sculpture artists that create 360 degree works of art, such as the ancient Greeks, among more modern artists.
