Landscapes

artstic statement

I am creating art that molds corrugated cardboard scenic constructions. The landscapes reflect my visions of scenes in nature throughout the earth. They reflect the ruggedness and curvature of the land, sky, and water, in recognition of the wonders of nature.

Cityscapes

artistic statement

My cityscapes reflect the monuments of the human spirit. Efforts are made to reflect the city scenes, skylines, and water. My inspirations are art history, man's shaping of his environment, and his monuments to future generations. I am inspired by the pyramids of Central and South America and Egypt, and the historic cities of Italy, Greece, and the continent of Africa.

Steps of Hope

artistic statement

These are wood-on-wood pulp constructions. They spiral upward, downward, to the left, to the right or in multiple directions. My staircases reflect the eternal hope for what's good in life that has been part of the human spirit throughout civilization. The optical illusions are reminiscent of the work of renowned artist M. C. Escher.
