Personal Statement
Many years ago someone asked what art meant to me. Without hesitation I replied “Life.” Today I find the answer still remains the same.. Art generally is thought as the expression of one’s inner creativity usually expressed as the visual arts; such as painting or sculpture. However this approach seems limited. Each of us creates moment by moment as we respond to our external and internal. impulses and make each day, The visual arts only help make this process visible not only to ourselves but to others. Life lived as art comes from a deep inner place, known as the unconscious. The poet John Keats called this “soul making.” With degrees in English Literature and Archetypal Psychology, I view art as a spiritual journey and my paintings, collages and constructions always have a spiritual meaning and ultimately express my soul's connection to the divine. I generally begin a work of art by placing random colors or shapes on the chosen ground and then dialogue with these elements. A conversation ensues as I develop the work: layering transparent papers or paint in response to the images formed by the revealed shapes, colors or spaces. I work in this manner until I feel that the conversation is over. I agree with the artist Hans Hofmann, who says in his book, "Search for the Real", that "Art is Magic;" the whole process is indeed magical and mystical.
