“Its all just a composition waiting to be played out”. I try to look for the positive and negative spaces of the situation, the light and the dark, the form or lack of, and the heated and chilled sides of the challenges set before me. My pallet is always flexible and developing, adapting to the “canvas” I set before myself. My “medium” is never set in stone, adjusting itself to his vision and needs to achieve his goal, be it the creation of a new painting or a solution to protect. I try to give the viewer a glimpse through my unique lens, to envision what I see and experience how I feel about the living beauty of the land. The beauty and the chaos, the passion, fragility and the inherent strength of people. My mentor once asked me to describe a painting of mine.... I started explaining, describing, discussing... He became upset with me. He said to me, “Are you a philosopher or a painter? Use three words or less to describe your work”. I love color, I love form, I love paint. This is the way that I speak from the inside. I read a poem once by Mary Kate James... The Artist Time stands still Lost in the moment of experience Feeling it in his mind, his body A prayer of rhythm and grace. Hand performs Touching, stroking Following like a dancer To the music in his mind. He lives it This meditation, this vision Breathing color, light He is at one with creation We live in a wonderful crazy insane world filled with Beauty and Chaos, Love and Angst, Passion and Terror, and so much more. Art is my inner truth, the way I connect the dots. I do it because I must, I have no choice... and I love it!!! That is my statement...
