Artist's Statement My work has evolved from abstractions to realistic imagery to make the statements I believe resonate with my fellow human beings.That is to express how I am experiencing the world now and from my early beginnings.Within the work I have appropriated images from Life Magazine (1940-50) and drew inspiration from abstract expressionism. Much of my figurative work is a social commentary on the effect of Advertising,Politics, Technology and the Media in general on the social mores, political beliefs and consumerism driven by the media.The work is sarcastic and humorous. Setting the banal against the phenomenal. It can be funny and disturbing. Again, I try to engage the viewer to think about the images in terms of their own circumstances past and present. I sometimes add an image from another time period or element of fantasy as a shock of the new.
