Artistic Statement

Artistic Statement

Our entire life is focused on finding the truth.

When I create, write or act characters, I focus on their burning desires. What makes them tick? What keeps them up at night? What do they dream about? Every character is driven by a goal that they are desperate to accomplish. Depending on what they are after, I make the steps along the way a reflection of their perspective. No matter if they achieve or fail their goal, a truth will come to light that will enlighten them with a perspective. This new perspective may or may not change them completely but upon reflection of their journey, they are made to understand themselves slightly more.

I write about two kinds of characters. They are either larger than life characters that are facing relatable conflicts such as love and friendship or they are everyman characters forced to face larger than life obstacles. There is something fitting about seeing presidents and superheroes dealing with their love life or any of the various primitive emotions we have. Witnessing characters like people we know and root for them to overcome what may seem impossible is quite freeing. These are the characters that we learn from the most.

My mission as an artist is to create new stories about characters that tell the truth in the most beautiful of ways.
