Creation is a spiritual endeavor. Painting is creation. Seeing an idea-a dream-moves me to a precipice, ever on the edge. I am anxious, I strive, there is pattern in my dream and I must express it. My hands are directed. What moves them?
I have no words. I have bits and pieces of me my heritage my environment. Perhaps my work springs from my collective subconscious. My inner thoughts are a rich dream that cannot be my doing. I am an instrument. I work to gain control. My techniques are learned. I respect the history of my art. I am grateful to those who came before me and the teachers who have shown me many paths. My soulšs life comes from the highest source of creation and the poser of this relationship awes me.
My manuscript paintings are a continuum, a series of elements passing into each other old and new forever joined. I feel that the world moves ahead by the merging of ancient ideas that are combined with our lives of today, thus creating a new reality.
It is my hope that the viewer will first see a pleasing deign reminiscent of an ancient tile upon closer scrutiny will discover the merging of familiar script the combining of languages which to me represents the unity and the harmony that can be possible on our tiny earth.
