My work magnifies the connection to the spark within. The paintings
specifically deals with transforming life's experience (which I call
"spiritual growth opportunities") by enhancing each
person's connection to the Spirit within, which is the indefatigable
source, that can shift our perspective to heal any and everything.
ART IN A TIME OF FEAR:
"Art can appear so insignificant when the world gets crazy. But
the world has always been crazy, even if it hasn't been as
horrifying. Art's been around a long time. It knows how to handle
good times and bad. And it's never really been insignificant. Most
art is superficial. However, the aesthetic experience (the term
always rings tinny), the enigmatic interior place we go when we make
or look at art, is still what it's always been: complex, rich,
rewarding, meaningful, and moving. It is a place we will always
return to. A place, presumably, we all come from. A place, moreover,
that tells us things we didn't know we needed to know until we knew them."
