"I have always had the tendency to work large. Public art is the perfect venue for an artist with the desire to work in a large scale while at the same time allowing for the most interaction with the artwork and viewers as possible, so I found it a natural path to pursue. After visiting Gaudi's Gwell Park in Barcelona, I dreamed of adding something to the world that would inspire others, as his work had me. So much of the modern landscape is bland. Often I see the inside of tunnels as blank canvases waiting to be painted, and plain buildings as structures to be covered with sculptures. Creating work for a specific audience to enhance and stimulate their day to day experience is very satisfying to me, in ways the work I make in my studio for myself does not. Working on a large scale, for the public, is a way for me to give something back to the community and enhance the environment for those who come after me."
