In my world there are tsunamis, and school shootings. There is pain, there is suffering, and there is a great dark abyss where the demons live. Life is the totality of joy and misery, and lord, I do love it. Art for me is not an escape but a confrontation, an exorcism, a time to cast out all of the beautiful horrors that haunt my brain and trap them on canvas. Art is freedom.

I live and have always lived in the western foothills of Maine and am a self taught artist. My most common medium is oil on canvas but I am not opposed to using almost any medium or surface in order to achieve the image I want.
