ARTIST STATEMENT

Art is a distillation of the spirit. Transcending time and space,
the painter moves into the world of intuition.

The excitement found while working in the immediacy of
nature leads one to joyfully express the myriad patterns of
light and color. When you are held in this suspension you
begin to lose yourself and gain something that is beyond
yourself. It is as if the creative universe is at your side holding
the painting tools with you. This is the inspiration that is so
often talked about.
 
Although the aesthetic & creative process is a personal one,
I have been touched by many great artists who have gone
before me such as Van Gogh, Monet, Joan Mitchell, Milton
Avery & Wolf Kahn. All of these artists have endeavored to
create what was never seen before --something new and
with it the excitement of the truly original. I can only hope I
can be on this same path of creativity.
