about
I explore questions about time and space, and through art, tell stories that invoke long forgotten thoughts and memories to whisp up to the surface of the mind.
For me art is all about making connections. Connections to people. Connections with places. conncetions to certain times.
But those connections first and foremost begin with the connection to Self
That process of creating puts me in touch with who I am. I start with the layers of the mind and peel my way through the layers of emotion. Then I find myself in touch with something higher, more expansivethan the Self. That which onnects us to every living thing and all time.
My misson is to create connections
To connect to people and to connect those people to their Self. My aim is to establish a network or community of people who, like me, love to explore the recesses of the soul and what life has to offer.
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”
Pablo Picasso
