People are a never ending source of fascination for me, and entertainment, I have to add.  And I am interested in portraying the deeply personal deliberations continually being weighed during our attempt to connect with one another, and with those arcane aspects of ourselves we want to know better.
 

My work mainly revolves around spiritual metamorphoses and social commentary.

Frequently the imagery, or storyline, may have their origins in my dream logs.

This being the case, each piece is a vignette of a moment in eternity.  And a moment is not measured linearly.  It is a vibration emanating out from its’ point of origin, to points unknown.     I paint the moment, I paint vibrations, I paint frozen sounds, moments in eternity.

There is only one moment, though~ but many aspects.   And it may seem like it would take an eternity to paint these aspects~ but it only appears so because we have been trained against our innate natures.  We have been trained to perceive linearly, which is very abstract and limited.

When we chance upon a painting, a sculpture which catches our eye~ we should listen very carefully with every aspect of us.  We don’t listen with only our ears any more than we see only with our eyes. 

Viewing art requires thoughtful meditation, if one is to discern any meaning~ whether that of the artist or something relevant to oneself.  Sometimes there comes with viewing something poignant, a revelatory experience~ like love at first sight, or what has been described as the “Ah-Ha!” experience.

In the end I believe it is a matter of personal growth and responsibility to interpret ones’ own gut reaction, intuitive response or emotional/intellectual meanderings at that point. No other individuals’ personal interpretations will be relevant. Reality is a personal issue, one size does not fit all.
