artist statement

my work has no defined medium or boundries. my work is often my own interpretation of real world politics, and social issues. I strive to express opinion and provoke thought, using irony, humor and truth. i beleive that the modern artist must do more than dwell on realism. my paintings are paintings, not photographs. a painting must be viewed differently than a photograph. i view my work as a window into another world. in this world, i feel that i have to show the viewer more than they already know to be true.
