Artist Statement
Griffin's original interest in the Visual Arts began in high school and continued as he performed around the world as a professional trombonist.The passion to paint became stronger when Griffin lived in Paris from 1985-1986. The tastes,sounds, smells, and sights of Paris inspired Griffin to translate this sensory stimulation onto canvas.
