I believe in eternity. I feel that I can never truly complete my paintings because I don’t see any boundary that separates reality from art.

Like relationships that grow and develop in new directions with the passing of each day, my paintings start out as an idea that grows and flourishes, nourished by it’s own need to be.

I often paint more than one piece at a time and allow resonance and changes to each, as a dialogue and discovery of the truth which generates the images in the first place.

I find my true self on his wonderful journey of creation. I hope you can be inspired to see a bit of your true self also in these paintings.

Thank You.
