The Dim Vision
I explore the light and dark duality of of the world around us. Art is self awareness through the colorful abstract - surrealism using a wide range of mediums. Painting with everything from acrylics, oils and even melted plastic, my work defies standard convention and often maintains its unique one-of-a-kind nature.
The psychedelic imagery in my pieces pushes the subconscious boundaries of the viewer into the colorful abyss of forgotten wonder. The exchange is perceived as an energy that is channeled through the canvas "portal" gazing right back, connecting eye to eye, or soul to soul with a powerful message of self examination. "Who Am I?" and "Who are you..?"
Some of my more intricate assemblage work explores a combination of elements such as light and shadow, found and repurposed objects, wire-wrapped crystals and gemstones infused with nature, bones, fabric, gears and clock faces. I enjoy working with Archetypes and symbolism. If my work had an origin, it would be called the "Dreampunk" realm.
​
Why so Dim?
I walk the middle path. I am not of light, nor am I of darkness..
Embodied within me and my work are both realms:​
