Statement

 

Art is the language of the human spirit, the rhytm, beat and song of the self. Sometimes difficult to decipher but, with surrender, one may travel into the heart of the painting.

 

Once the veil is lifted, you may journey into the glory, passion and vulnerability of one’s human soul. And allow yourself to see again, as a child, when at once everything is magic.


Why else are we here, but to experience and to express the movements of passion and the fire in  our spirits. One's own inner fire can respond to my paintings by feeling their own dance within!
