Artist Statement
My
favorite saying is "It's the journey!" and my paintings are the
expression of a chosen moment in time. An artist should take
pleasure in his journey, indulging in the pure joy of playing with the
paints or whatever medium is used. For me it is the journey, not the
destination!
As
the artist, capturing the emotion of a place, recognition or a feeling
that one can identify with is important to me. To
make you see what I have seen is part of my objective; but to
have you feel what I felt is the ultimate goal. The journey of the
mind is as important as the journey of the feet!
