STATEMENTS
"I was striving for a radiance not achieved with academic techniques and brushes. Once I discovered razors, it changed my approach to painting."
"The line between what is Real and Surreal is often blurred due to the encroachment of technology in our lives. What differentiates me from other Surrealists is that I work towards the believable, while most work towards that which is fantastical. It is funny that the results are often the same."
