Artist's statement
My work comes from a painting background. I am currently seeking to deal with universal themes such as our walk on this earth, and the role of the imagination and dream.
Inner space
A realm of sanctuary, and involvement, journey, encounter: this is imaginative space we can enter at will. Creative visualizing is much used within such practices as cognitive therapy, healing, meditation and prayer. Within this realm we can interface with key players in our lives in ways that have consequence.
Imagery. I seek freedom with imagery. Therefore I like to use the abstract vocabulary I have built up. Meanwhile I like to use stated overt imagery as well so that a series of work may contain both elements to varying degree, even merging them as on a continuum.
