Artist Statement:
These images are in themselves
"Metaphysical Symbols". Form
and color are combined, united
and harmonized to create heart
felt impressions of life. They
are not meaningless
abstractions. The concept of
inner radiating light plays an
integral role in the
development of these images.
This light emanates from
within a counterpoint of
darkness and shadow. In some
of these images the light is
radiating from without almost
hiding the shadow. In others
the light is radiating from
within the darkness and is
almost hidden. The light
expresses all the positive
forces of nature including
growth and expansion, the
power of intellect and most
important, the power of
transcendental love. The
darkness elicits the dark
forces of nature and of
humankind; anger; resentment;
hatred; complacency.
Ironically, we cannot have one
without the other. The
darkness increases the beauty
of the light just as evil
contrasting benevolence
enhances the joy one
experiences by doing a good
deed. It is an eternal
paradox....
