"most of my life has been dedicated to nature and art. i am compelled to create art that explores the sacred with a study of the compositional space, mastering art techniques, as i intuitively perceive vibratory level of energy that surrounds beings or objects. the sacred reveals to me as humans, animals and nature. my compelling reason for creating art is to transmit beauty, healing and sacredness. that at times takes the unexpected"
"my art process entails research about the subject matter or sometimes it comes to me in dreams, flashes of lighting where the subject matter is revealed to me as a vision or insight, explore imagery, using sacred geometry, sketching, preparing my paints or mixing grounds and then i spend tireless hours bringing my creations to life. there are many layers of underpainting and that accounts for the brilliance of the colors i use my hands in the subsequent layers. this process enables me to get beyond the rational mind. i love and breath art and every stroke i consider it a priviledge and a moment of illumination!
"i have walked and hiked along rivers for years at times living vicariously at their shores and have gottent to know the creatures and felt a deep connection with all living things and the energy of the land"
"other times i have walked the desert in the west and far away lands and experienced its inhabitants, barrenness was never my experience i developed a reverence for life at all levels"
"a part of my life has been dedicated to recuing parrots and birds"
"nature, spirit, humanity, intellectual depth, science, creativity, and over all curiosity encompasses my art.
"i am passionate about the art creation process and your experience is the most important thing because art heals and provides clarity and insight to unknown elements of our being."
