Statement on Surrealism
For me surrealism is painting the landscapes of the mind. I do my best to be open to the collective, allowing the viewer to connect with the paintings giving the paintings their purpose. I try to keep personal intent out of the work, praying for each painting to have its own life and journey, to become unique with its own message for the individual looking. With each painting created I do however want it to surpass the last one finished, following my philosophy that today can be the best day ever if we can simply get out of our way and let it happen naturally. I like to think I’m getting better at representing everything and everyone.
