Artist Statement:
Many times I am asked where
ideas come from. There's
never been any difficulty with
that, because they arose one
by one in almost linear
fashion. The full idea for a
painting would emerge in my
mind as a complete mental
picture somewhere towards the
end of the painting I was
working on. From this I would
jot down a clear thumbnail
image and pretty much work
from that alone. Looking back
on it, it seems to me the
subconscious was prompting
this process in an effort to
build wholeness out of chaos
within me. Almost like the
process of art itself.
So for me, painting has
always been a multilevel
thing. The image and the
technical difficulties in
creating it was one issue and
the symbolism which contained
the meaning was always
something I had to grapple
with. Lately I have found
still another door in the
meaning layer. Archetypes, a
more universal creative layer.
Out now is a book on a disc
covering the Renaissance. It
took three years of research
and writing so everything is
there; all major
artists,pictures, politics,
literature, Medici, etc., plus
presentations with notes for
teaching! buy it at
