I have always been curious and drawn to the deepest questions.  At a young age my dad presented two possibilities:

The Universe had a beginning

The Universe was beginningless

This blew my mind and I felt great satisfaction from entering this mysterious realm of abstract thought and pondering the imponderable. Both possibilities seemed unfathomable, which set me on a journey into the sciences and into various philosophies to try to understand life, the cosmos, myself, consciousness, and human behavior.  I love to inquire and am not easily satisfied with existing answers.

My art parallels this journey of ignorance, curiosity, and discovery.  My greatest fear as an artist, and perhaps as a person, was that I was mechanical, and it has been my endeavor to understand myself so that I could transcend this. I believe I felt a sense of security exploring the abstract realms of thought, finding a kind of order and beauty there apart from a world of contradiction.  I am somewhere between a realist and idealist and my exploration is finding different relationships between these two.

Below are some of my questions and thoughts on various topics that inform my art.
