”I think, sometimes, when I am alone, usually
when I am making art, about the elements in nature around me. I like to ponder
relationships. How everything has its own significant place…how everything is
somehow related to everything else. How….most importantly, we don’t readily
understand these relationships, yet if one element is missing, an emptiness
exists.”
I perceive my
major strength as a 'no holds barred' approach to painting. How a painting is
accomplished is of little value when in retrospect one observes the sense of
spiritualism in the finished product.
