About Me
Process: I am a minimalist-expressionist painter because to love things is to love them profoundly. The work is not mere passive perception or daydreaming, it is indefinable but realizable in painting. It is inner vision formulated into images. Having been inundated by exposure to art throughout my life, I have chosen painting as a vehicle of expression. The work pertains to emotive issues and how they are mirrored in nature. Once established, this link provides the primary guide for my work. The creative act follows a course, which is “stream of consciousness”. From the first sketch to the last glaze I allow intuition to aid me in discussing what is ineffable. These choices though aided by intellect, are based on what is deeply felt. My process begins with a bit of writing to determine where I am mentally and emotionally. I use a square format for equal sides, which convey a balanced feel in the overall work. I begin with a warm ground to create various warm hues while painting. I continue to work with speed and momentum to include spontaneity and surprise. After a time of momentum I observe what I have made. I then write more about the work out of observation to determine what has been intuitively revealed. I am interested in making the ordinary extraordinary.

    It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.

    It was passed from one bird to another,
    the whole gift of the day.
    The day went from flute to flute,
    went dressed in vegetation,
    in flights which opened a tunnel
    through the wind would pass
    to where birds were breaking open
    the dense blue air -
    and there, night came in.

    Once for each thing. Just once; no more. And we too, just once. And never again. But to have been this once, completely, even if only once: to have been at one with the earth, seems beyond undoing.
    Rainer Maria Rilke

    Even after all this time,
    the sun never says
    to the earth,
    “You owe me.”
    Look what happens
    with a love like that -
    it lights
    the whole world. ~ Hafiz
