My story in the Art

My current body of work represents both a technical distillation of a lifelong art career and a, some-what reluctant, out-flowing of otherworldly influences. My paintings are a performance of energy. It is a collaborative dance of elemental, Universal, and personal creative forces. My art relies on a collaboration of energies in which I am like the conductor of a symphony and the colors and symbols are instruments bent and blown, smashed and distorted, dissolved and reformed into a picture plan that becomes a slice of the Universe, intended to raise the vibrations of the viewer.

Color is the preeminent tool I use to represent the inexorable mingling between universe and ego. Color invokes pure meaning from our primordial minds clear through to our highest imaginative processes. Color is felt as intensely as our eyes perceive it and our minds decode it.
