Art should take you to another place...should be timeless...the way it was, is, and will be. Color carries an emotional impact, eliciting feelings about reality. Sometimes my colors are inspired by what I see; sometimes color quickens my imagination. It binds together all the work I do. It declares its own reality.
I see the natural world in symbolic terms which express my relationship to art and to my own psyche. Art is a way of making sense out of the world and my place in it. Hopefully, my compositions bridge the eternity of nature and the individual self, no matter where the images may originate.
At the core of all art is a desire to seek out a path to an underlying truth. The format may vary, but the desire to find answers is always there.
