What I try to create in my paintings is a sense of mystery. To me, mystery is intriguing and stimulates the imagination, something which is needed in our age of passive entertainment. I like to pun and poke fun of American culture and our perceptions of life in it. For people who care to take the time, the meaning of my paintings does unfold over time and with reflection, as the visual symbols reappear in different contexts. I try, however, to have something for everyone to relate to, enjoy and be provoked by in a single painting - from the novice or inexperienced viewer to the most educated. My paintings are meant to be enjoyed on many levels and to bring to the viewer a heightened sense of the vastness and beauty of the universe.
