I am driven by an insatiable passion to create. Art enables us to
glimpse and experience Divine Manifestation. The "Great Creator" continuing the spirit of creation through the world's artists. Painting, and the inescapable force which impels and flows through me, is my essential link to the sacred and to my soul.

The majority of my paintings are created through my imagination. Painting from my inner world demands existing in the moment-- responding to impulses and impressions as they arise and seek external life. My still life pieces and more realistic landscapes and florals are painted from life or photographs. This provides the dynamic of a visual reference point in the external world--a radically different experience. One is my internal, spiritual world brought forth into visibility. The other brings the external world into, and through me, for expression. Each is a great adventure, providing unlimited possibilities for creative discovery.

I perceive my attempts at art to lay in vain, in light of what I know is possible to express. So, I continue to paint. Each work, always incomplete, never quite fully expressing what I sense is possible. But, I am driven to continue to extend myself--to go beyond where I have been--to practice--to unfold--to stay open and alert--aspiring to the masterpiece that may some day come close to expressing the inexpressible.
