I am an observer. I strive for my work to bring out the essence and consciousness of a subject. This process requires feeling into objects so that my work can portray something that I am consciously unaware of until the piece is done. My associations are intuitive and usually accurately reveal what I seek to unfold.
When I enter my studio I breathe as I prepare to work and ask myself: "What do you desire to express?", "Where are you right now?" and "What is the most genuine way for me to express this?"
The creative act has a ritualistic quality. It takes time to connect with the paint on the palette and breathe life into a new creation. Sometimes it takes an act of bravery to start creating...or to realize and accept that I cannot create anything at all.
Sometimes creations take no physical form and remain in the dimentions of my imagination...
