Artist Statement: No other subject offers the versatility and challenges as the female form does. The palette is endless-from the classical shape to pin-ups, nude to naked, adornments, hair styles, body shapes, fashion, to skin tones. Artists such as Kent Bellows, Robert Graham, Mel Ramos, or Hilo Chen have shown us endless arrangements of the female form. These influences spark intrigue and desire to explore the simple complexity of the female line. I can’t say there is an underlying theme to my work as a whole. Every model brings new and interesting elements to the table. What is consistent with my pieces is the scale of the original work itself. I believe the closer to life-size the image I create is, the more engaging my female becomes to the viewer. It’s also important to me that she allows you into her space so she simply doesn’t just become an object to view.
