Artist Statements

Traditional Artist Statement-
I have been creating art since early childhood.  As a result there a been a natural progression in refinement, and a specific development of my interest and quality of the art in which I specialize, Twyling. In more recent years I have applied myself in the protection, promotion and marketing of the unique and unusual art goods which I create. My approach for each opportunity for which I apply is to first visualize the way in which my art can be incorporated into the specific projected site.  I realize that my work is different than most have experienced, which one of its most attractive features.  However due the nature of the material, paper, and it dimension of low relief, it requires  “out of the box” thinking to construct ideas to make it work for specific project requirements. This is my first level of thinking.  Underlying thoughts of problem solving, are the thoughts of confidence, that more people need to see my work. I have received overwhelming and reassuring feedback from a wide spectrum of people involved and less involved in the arts, which magnifies my drive for more widespread exposure of Twyling. I own the belief that I am ready and can achieve any goal, which will undoubtedly be accompanied by challenge.  I am willing to learn as I go, both through my own research and through in-field experts, and make accommodations within my life as needed, in order to achieve higher goals for myself and my work.

Untraditional Artist Statement
Obsessed with obsessive obsession.  To do, do, do, and do again over,
the same.  And in the night to dream to do, and in the morning to
crave to do.  The drive driven by wanting to see the do, do, doing be
done.  To start to do all over again, to wonder how it can be done and
done and done the same but differently this time.  Do it big, do it
bold, do, do, do it for you so you don't have to.  So you can see the
result of the doing after it has already been done, and you can wonder
what it is like to do it too.

                In 1997 I developed an art creation technique which I have since trademarked using the work "Twyling" to distinguish my technique, style, and overall product. Twyling is created by rolling colored strips of paper and using these rolled papers to create various artistic compositions, both representation and abstract.  In large part, my work is inspired by the surrounding environment and nature found in South Florida. I have combined a lifetime of training in a wide variety of visual art areas and included them into my unique “Twyling” creations.          
                I have come into the art scene at a time when viewers, collectors and critics are hungry for something new in the world of art.  Most of my followers take an interest in my work because of the unique textural quality, unusual use of material, and because they have "never seen anything like it before." The arrangement of rolled paper take on a hologram-like effect.  I use only acid-free papers, to eliminate the changing and fading of colors over time.  I utilize UV resistant glass for added protection.
