Building forms and mechanical appurtenances have always interested me and are the primary inspiration for my work. Ever since I was an undergraduate at Lehigh University, surrounded by the Bethlehem Steel Mills in eastern Pennsylvania, I have explored my own inner ‘factory’ with the goal of creating a visual language that articulates my own theories of art and life. The primary theory of my work centers on the theme of living a thoughtful, meaningful and balanced life in a very complicated and technologically sophisticated world.
