Artist Statement:
I am an artist that abides by
the cycles of life, time,
place, nature and history. I
work in and outside the studio
and traditional fine arts
venues. My community based
artwork, teaching,
administration and studio work
simultaneously criss cross,
inform and revitalize one
other. Drawing and writing are
part of my daily rituals;
cartoons, charcoal drawings,
in my journal, on a scrap of
paper. These ideas are
cataloged to be used later in
paintings or projects. I
create three bodies of work
annually - fall, spring and
summer. As my painting matures
and grows in sophistication
and meaning, subject matter
emerges, fades and reemerges.
The themes of ecology,
identity and memory appear to
be consistent elements.
Sometimes these images become
a part of a mural, or
commissioned work and
sometimes it’s the other way
around. Painting, to me, is
perhaps the ultimate in
spiritual practice. After more
than 25 years of intentional
creation, moving from strict
representationalism to
expressionism and ultimately
towards a personal spiritual
vocabulary of form, material,
treatment and light. ...
