ARTIST STATEMENT
Storytelling; the artist’s travelogue portrayed on canvas, breaking boundaries, borders, letting go of…expectations, control, perfection, preciousness, criticism…
Creating art is about me communicating to you…unexplained, suggestive stories. I could be begging a question, or offering a message, a mystery, even to me. The discovery and interpretation comes to you, the viewer, because everyone will have their own personal reaction to a piece.
This work is expression of my unique sensibility; my gut instinct; my sanctuary and meditations on life.
