Spirit Painting 2005E
|
For me art like life is a journey of discovery. It is in the doing that I find true enlightenment and joy. To me the creative process is the most sacred and spiritual of experiences. It is while I am in my studio painting when I feel my deepest connection to the divine. I feel as if I am an instrument of the ternal Creative Spirit It is this force that both inspires and guides me. In the act of creation I am not alone, as I believe my gifts and my power come from this greater source, higher power, and are not merely an invention of my own mortal creative ambitions conscious or subconscious.
I hope the experience of viewing my work will have a similar effect. And act as a catalyst for viewers of my work... To spark their imaginations with what I call the ternal Creative Spirit to get them to think, to feel and to engage in their own personal conversation with my work. And hopefully make a connection with the divine spirit that dwells in and around us all. I hope to help carry the torch of the artistic spirit, especially that of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism for the next generation.
My imagery is based on universal forms and structures that I have observed in nature. So, my visual language is innately about and reflects the broader world around me. In this way my work is meant to evoke and convey a familiar feeling through the quality of light (atmosphere), surface texture and form.
