Artist statement:
I want to make the best artwork that
my abilities will allow.
I don't really like the title
"artist" due to the fact that everything can be considered art
( if it needs a whole lot of talk...it probably needs a little more work). I
guess this would be my painter-drawer-occasional sculptor-statement. I work
within a self-imposed set of parameters with respect to craftsmanship,
chemistry, and my interpretation of aesthetic beauty. Lame? Yeah, I think it's
the use of the word "beauty".
I don't really have much of a
religious, political, social or moral agenda ( there's a whole "gang o'
folks" who have that covered). Also, I change my mind too much to stick
with any one philosophy.
I mostly paint about my life and my
silly little observations.
So... I guess I just want to make
the best work that my abilities will allow.
