Artistic Observation: I’m fascinated by our common, unconscious sociology. The ‘undertected’ interactions between people and their environment. From macro universal systems to sub-atomic relationships – I believe all things are connected, a Universal Mind, where there's compounding energy and every string matters.
As a self-taught artist, I am unbound by the scope and banal of textbook art. My engineer training and management experiences afford me a perspective to witness subtle Human processes; a heightened sense of physical awareness. For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. It is something which I cannot give back…and no one can take away.
Still, I review types and style of art as they each have their own technical platforms and merit. Since owning/operating Annex 24 Gallery Downtown, the traditional pieces that are routinely put forth as saleable artwork disenchant me. I feel they lack risk.
​
Consequently, I feel compelled to use art as a tool, to shake people out of their complacency and challenge their conformity to common, unconscious sociology.
Having connected with a few noteworth artists, making art with other Lancasterianistic Artists' is a great collaborative setting. I feel connected to other groups of people and they drive me to experiment and create beyond my own personal experiences. The results for the City and the community and its visitors are a wide scope of diversity in artistic products and services and a deep resource pool of art workers and skilled craftspeople. In Lancaster, PA art is a viable industry sector and creates opportunities and platforms to make money; and peace.
