Artist Statement:
‘The problem was how to
imbue his life with meaning,
to shine a bright light into
the future’...Yoshikawa's
biography of Musashi expresses
the motivation behind the
artist's drive to create a
legacy of works which have the
potential to extend influence
beyond an individual lifetime.
I have been blessed with the
urge to create, to evoke
thought and to share
knowledge. It's a human thing.
‘To live was more than just
to survive...’
“In the new Millenium,
artists have unprecedented
access to the cultures of the
world and the lessons of the
past. My effort has been to
learn, extend, and reveal
these lessons in a narrative,
figurative, and allegorical
format. I select my subjects
from around the world and from
among different peoples and
times. I attempt to 'freeze'
meaning, action, and setting
into a beautiful, thoughtful
object which brings lasting
enjoyment and divulges it's
greatest insights only to
those who are prepared to
understand.”
“Of course, I humbly agree
that my paintings and
sculptures will not stop
history. I respectfully thank
the reader for any
consideration given to my
point of view. Your attention
to these pages honors me.”
