artist's preface

“I find it to be challenging to put into words that which most accurately describes my in-the-studio efforts. As time has gone by, I have moved away from early influences and refined my sensibilities; I have found my own "visual voice”.

While the challenge of the blank canvas continues, it no longer is a matter of what I want to paint, but rather what I must paint that has become primary, essential and central to my creative life.

It is a process of self examination - that of becoming introspective, of not being able to ignore that which is largest in my conscious and subconscious.

I love the magic and fantasy of life and the magic and fantasies which occur as I put my feelings and images on canvas. paint those experiences that reflect the “known” (and explorations of the“unknown”) as a symbolic metaphor with the figure at the center of my ideas.

The paradox in what I say here is that my art is a pursuit of and a statement about "reality" as I see, feel, live, and invent it. This is my way to codify - as well as to expand - my own visual ideas.”
