In the words of the ARTIST: Through my painting I am drawn to enter into points of view and places in the psyche that are beyond words. My paintings examine things like groups and flocks, movement, feeling and mystery. I am as much the medium of expression as the brush, the paint and the canvas. Out of the maelstrom of my own experience my paintings bring visions of a larger purpose. Each work delivers something to the viewer, they speak to the soul, leaving the interpretation in the experience itself. |
