Ideas come to me as I brush up against life, a good idea will get stuck in my minds eye like a fully developed photo but more like a snapshot. Then I have to honor that image and lay it down on paper or canvas.
Currently I am plagued with snapshots of our human existence. How does man fit into the natural world and also the spiritual world, were does one world end and another start?
My paintings are filled with rich vibrant color and rhythmic movement. If I’m successful my work will give you a rush of excitement and move into the spaces between your dreams, connecting with your own minds eye.
