Artist Statement:
I was age 10 when my first art
teacher, a native American
lady, taught me to draw
horses. She also painted her
horses on cars. She always
emphasized the importance of
the 'line' in art and stressed
that "the line is sacred, and
when all lines finally come
together, your art becomes
perfection". Another teacher
told me that there are 'no
lines' in nature. I believe
both ideas can be true. It
depends on what the artist
desires to believe.
There isn't really a universal
standard in the infinite sea
of ART. I have realized over
the span of 35 years of
studying art and producing it
that all forms of art are
subject only to our personal
relationship with it, and the
emotions it invokes. A
beautiful piece of art may
satisfy many visually, but it
may not have any higher
utility. For the artist, a
picture, a story, a song, an
act, a sculpture, a craft,
architecture etc. are all
expressions of the complex
multifaceted human heart,
which needs that outlet to
relieve itself and to share
all the emotions: love, fear,
joy, pain, mystery, desire,
beauty, anger, awe, dread,
reverence, sorrow, ectasy,
etc..
