My
life as an artist is essential to my identity
and well being. About ten years ago I became
consumed fully with painting and stone carving.
This complemented a range of activities I
was engaging in at the time, such as meditation,
journal writing, being in solitude, and spending
time in nature. All of these pursuits led
to a profound spiritual transformation. My
artistic practice remains an important source
of nourishment for my life and ongoing spiritual
quest.
My artistic
efforts continue to be devoted to both painting
and sculpture. Each serves to inform and inspire
the other. In my work I seek to depict inner
and outer realms, the metaphysical, the transcendent,
and a sense of timelessness and mystery. In
both the painting and the sculpture I use
repetition of stylized depictions of the face
and the human form. At times these are easily
recognized, and at others they are abstracted
almost past the point of recognition. I combine
these with animal imagery, and familiar symbols
such as hearts, stars, suns and moons. These
pictorial elements comprise my primary visual
vocabulary which I use in dynamic, swirling,
and fluid overall compositions. In the paintings
I use brilliant color on dark grounds, resulting
in a radiant feel not unlike stained glass.
In the sculpture I carve with sensitivity
to the stone’s inherent beauty, texture,
and natural color.
Through my many
years of living and working as an artist I
have developed great belief in the power of
art to depict and reflect inner states. Through
my work I aim to reinforce for the viewer
the validity of his or her own spiritual journey.
My artistic practice feeds my spiritual progress
and I hope it helps contribute to that of
others.
Maintaining
my web site in one critical way in which I
connect with the public about my work, thus
helping me to sustain myself as an artist.
