ARTIST'S STATEMENT

The vision for my art is renewal. For myself and for others to experience a pathway that transcends the common experience. Experience with our senses alone will never satisfy beings constituted as we are, who seek truth, beauty, love. When we learn to quiet our soul and contemplate the goodness of creation around us we can find a degree of restoration and solace. As I live life I am very observant of environments I encounter. Not only my sense of seeing, but I discern with my heart. I like to refer to this as seeing with the eyes of my heart. I am particularly in tune with places where the moment seems to transcend the natural with a higher level of experience that connects with my spirit. Transcendence. I am hopeful that my work will provide such a pathway of renewal for you, as it has for me, as I contemplate an experience through painting it.
