Artist Statement:
I live in western New York, am
45 years old and have been
drawing, painting and taking
photographs for most of my
life.
I'm primarily inspired by
Nature, and by the way certain
organic forms, textures, the
play of sunlight and darkness,
the change of seasons, the
cycles of growth and decay
stimulate a sensation of
spiritual transcendence within
me; of consciously being part
of that eternal flow of energy
that is the natural world, and
from which all life arises.
The beauty and terror and
mystery of nature inspires me
to create. And the way certain
scenes, smells and sounds
invoke memories of childhood,
when all the world was
numinous and filled with
wonder.
My artwork is a way to express
my perception of that sacred
mystery, an attempt to show
the interconnectedness of all
things, matter, energy,
consciousness, life and death.
The basic theme of my art is
our unconscious link to the
life force of the earth, and
how it manifests in human
consciousness through our
mythologies and religions, our
creativity and our dreams. ...
