Painting
is a window. Many people stress style or technique when discussing the merits of a work of art but I personally think it's
vision is the most important. A painting should arrest you, make you think and feel. It should set up an internal dialogue.
When I begin to create I know that I'm involved on every level. There is an intensity that pushes me to get to the core of
my image. In a sense a finished painting is a birth. Once it's done it's out there for a long time communicating what I've
put into it.
