“Art” The Connecting Force
2000- 2011
For me, painting is a pilgrimage – a journey into the mystery of creation and, through that sacred path, ultimately a journey into the deepest reaches of my soul. If in my painting I am successful in reaching my goal, then I see it as a bridge into you.
Whether I am painting in the breathtaking Hudson Valley, near Tuscan castles, or on a sun-drenched beach in Maui, my paintings capture the underlying brilliance – the spiritual energy – that underlies all of nature. At this point of my development, painting “en plein air”, absorbed into nature’s grand silence of communication, with all of my senses acting as ready receptors to whatever might be presented to me, seems to most further my mission of discovery.

With intuition leading the way, I avoid focusing on details to allow for a total immersion of self into the “greater” self that surrounds me. Slowly, the world of form and color merges and shifts, separates and impresses, the whole dissolving into an insistent mood of pure energy. It is this distillation of both what is seen and not seen that I attempt to capture on my canvas. When a mixture of color and form resonates in my being, when I feel that I am at one with nature and that my painting is reflecting that union, then I feel a sense of spiritual connection. The magic is there and the painting is complete.
In the end, it is my hope that through my painting I have passed along a bit of the mystery to you which will positively impact your world.
My Mission:
To employ art to reveal the underlying spiritual energy
that connects and unites all people worldwide.
