I have always been intrigued by the unknown, the blank canvas, the unwritten song. The glorious exploration of the unknown drives me to push forward. I love to find new gems from unknown artists and musicians. And I have always found joy in making something new. It drives me to pick up my paintbrush, guitar, pen, violin, etc.
I love painting nature and color as a microcosm of life itself – trees reaching for the light, bent by abuse, and craving nourishment. I am drawn by beauty mixed with mystery. Pure realism or impressionism has never had great appeal to me. The canvas is an unknown world and I find myself searching out mystery rooted in reality.
When I create I feel that I am doing what I was made to do, whether or not anyone likes it or can understand it. However, I have found deeper meaning and fulfillment as I find connection with those few who are moved by my works. I believe that art has the potential to forge bridges of connection and that those who are moved by it or understand it or appreciate it can bring powerful meaning into our lives.
