Artist Statement:
From the outset of my formal
art education, in the 1950's,
(yup, I've been around a long
time!) I have embraced fully
the notion that art is the
product of the culture of the
day. That which is a clone of
yesterday's art is not art at
all. Thus I have come up with
a statement for my art studio
which is gelled into this
statement:
"No one else can but you can
make your marks.
Listen to your bones. Speak
with your spirit.
Edit with your head. Live
with your heart."
My art is
spontaneous--springing from
NOW, and delighting in the
uniqueness of the moment in
time. I love to paint "alla
prima" -- all in one session--
and many will think my art is
unfinished who are looking for
polish and slickness.
I paint for painting, not for
marketing and not for
approval, although sales and
applause are always very
gratifying and fuel the muse
enormously.
Many are making art without
even being aware that that is
what is happening. Watch a
child play--or a workman sing.
It is all art. Long live the
output of humans in their
worlds, whether permanent or
impermanent. ...
