ARTIST STATEMENT:
My work reflects a range of interest over a variety of subjects, none of which, I must admit, to examining in any great academic depth, preferring instead (or perhaps merely being guilty of indolence) to jump about freely from one thing to another, noting something, or not, and then off to the next interesting destination and hopefully, eventually, serendipitously, to make what is for me at any rate, some creative connections which in turn lead to inspiration becoming manifest. If I were an insect I would be a Grasshopper rather than an Ant. I would rather know a little about a lot of things than a lot about a few things…

I find myself drawn to all sorts: antiques and architecture, metal, wood and glass, stone and tools, lightning, wheels and road-side shrines, furniture, sculpture, the Renaissance and Art Deco, paintings and planes, trains and automobiles, islands and deserts, museums and clear blue skies…
