For me, painting is a process, a means rather than an end.

I am a cat-loving, color blind, self-taught artist who began painting 14 years ago in order to externalize images and to illuminate early feeling-states in an attempt to better understand and overcome early experiences. Thus, much of the work is a reflection of the unconscious made conscious, portals to the soul, a personal exploration.

Many are metaphors, symbols of early affective experiences, and of dreamlife. Some are the relation of a worldview, others simply recurring images that insisted on the light.

The purpose of this website is to solicit feedback from viewers. The site is an attempt to discern if the images resonate with others, and to see if the feelings involved in the creation are heard and/or possibly shared.

"A virtue he said, is to keep alive the memory of whatever has affected him, whose only way to say thank you for a lifetime sense of wonder at the mystery and beauty of being, was by this act of magical creation, and of storing in his soul whatever he has loved." (Unknown)

"All art is at its core an articulation of a single impluse: to affirm life's timeless and fractured beauty in the face of mortality." (Unknown)
