I consider myself a lifelong artist and learner. What that means is this…Life is a journey. As I go along, I keep accumulating things…that interests me, things that affect me, things that scare me, things that make me cry, things that make me laugh….this the learning part. As an artist I am constantly piddling with all this accumulated stuff…manipulating it…eating it…spewing it out…hanging it out to dry. Along the way I came up with a term to describe this mercurial montage method “Cracker-Barrel Surrealism”… What does all that mean? I feel despite my traditional academic education, my artistic path has always been derived from my own invention. As a “Cracker-barrel Surrealist” my strongest affinity is with low-brow kitsch with a twist of hallucinogenic whimsy. All creative endeavors fascinate me…but, especially phantasmagoric visions, comics with preposterously strange sensibilities, or any art with an out-of-kilter sense of humor!
