Artist Statement I am an artist who draws and paints spirits and dreams.
They find me and flow through
my hands onto material surfaces.....
usually canvas, paper, or wood.
These spirits and/or dreams
take different forms.
Sometimes they take the form of some kind of being,
say a mermaid, a sprite, or a dancer;
sometimes they take the form of a "place"---
a landscape in my mind;
other times there is a vision
of an entire diorama with characters and
activities that appear from
the river of my subconscious.
Often I'm quite surprised at what emerges,
though often it's a pleasant surprise.
Metaphysics, metaphors, archetypes, and
universal symbols fascinate me.
They are threaded throughout all my work.
