ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

When I was younger, I was encouraged to study nature and to draw. Through Summers spent rambling through the woods and winters spent redaing fairy tales, I have grown to create art based on my own inner mythology. Jim Henson, C.S. Lewis, Disney movies and Dr. Suess have all had a strong influence on me...

My work is about enjoying creativity. I do it because it is satisfying and I want people to have fun appreciating the things I make. These creatures are my minions marching out to combat the mundane blandness of modern life. I wind them up and turn them loose to change the world one chuckle at a time...
