ARTIST STATEMENT
Depth is my Gateway into the Black and White.
Inspirations in my day-to-day life and studies of many different realities have defined the images I create from my Source. My thoughts are brought to reality utilizing pen and ink with the influence of the artistic genius of M.C. Escher. To focus these thoughts into actual images on paper, I define them by interpreting the details of mathematical equations taken from the Fibonacci numbering system.
Dr. Wayne Dyer describes and teaches about Source. I enigmatically draw my connections to it.

Education
I’ve educated myself over the last 17 years in the microprocessor industry. My schematic ideas stem from the many detailed layers and patterns embedded within each microchip. I also incorporate the mathematical engineering used to design and create a microprocessor. I have no formal schooling other than High School, the USAF, 40 years of experiencing life and many reference books.
