I am a self taught artist living in Lake county. I was born in Denmark but have lived in the United States for most of my life. I have a degree in philosophy from Antioch college and served four years in the Army (two and half of those years were spent in the 82nd Airborne division). I also write short stories, poems, and am currently working on a novel. I have spent the last seven years refining my technique and experimenting with new styles of art. My artwork consists of three different styles:
- Found objects (mostly paper with text) which are layered, distorted, cut up, and then pasted back together in order to create spontaneous and subconscious juxtapositions.
- Found objects pieced together in order to create sculpture-like collages which emphasize texture and the "organic" nature of art.
- Iconic and oversimplified drawings of creatures which are representations of inner psychological states.
I am also currently experimenting with color and texture to create abstract "landscapes" which are subtle manifestations of nature's ephemeral beauty as opposed to being direct depictions of natural space.
