Artist Statement

These paintings reference the medical illustrations produced during the Age of Enlightenment as they share both a particular aesthetic as well as a lens in which to order the world and our place in it. My studies as an acupuncturist and prosthetist strongly influence the imagery as well as the themes explored. The constraints of the human body, its fragility and mortality as well the strength of the human spirit all serve as points of examination.  It is this endeavor to capture an image, at once familiar and new, evoking a sense of shared experience and compassion, which drives my work. The search for truth is very often a search for self. I often use gold and sacred geometry to evoke the perfection found in nature. Both feel like they are manipulated by man even though they occur naturally.
