Artist Statement
For me, the act of painting is a conduit to an inner and outer realm in which line, color and form are basic expressions. One of the most appealing aspects of art to me is the link to the unconscious, especially those instances when a painting takes on a life of its own and becomes an unfolding adventure. I like my paintings to speak for themselves. Each is an effort to express myself and my relationship to this vast universe of which we all are an integral part.
Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes
by you so quickly you hardly catch it going
Tennessee Williams
For man the vast marvel is to be alive….We ought to dance with
rapture that we should be alive and part of the living incarnate
cosmos.
