Everything I do, I do to create art.
Our senses are the most miraculous gift of any in all creation. They are the culmination of the Universe’s ability, as they provide perception, awareness and self-expression. Without them, the Universe would merely be matter, roads with no cars to travel on them and explore the world. With them, it is a place of wonder and beauty, where we travel the endless network of highways that provide access pathways to facets of existence. Art is meaning, because it gives our senses an incredible reason to exist. Art applies the greatest creation in the Universe to its fullest extent. It extends the Universe to create new places, dimensions, entities and forms of awareness. Art is another dimension. When we create art, we become part of the Universe’s causality, expansion, and self-perpetuation, and re-purpose its energy, the Universe’s sole activity.
Like the Universe, art always produces something that has never been seen before. Art is something that is a thing, it is a creation, and it exists for a reason, though it is inexplicable. This is what I intend to create when I make art. Something that never existed, then, when you see it, you recognize that it always has, and always will, exist.
The work is the embodiment of energy, nature, form and structure.
Structure is the foundation of the work and supports it, much like our body has bones to support itself. The studio is designed to exemplify this and the work created in it depicts these principles. Like Nature, the work grows organically. Products of a natural existence with a thumbprint of humanity much like a cultured garden. They incorporate things that change over time such as light, trees, skies and weather.
Capturing the dynamics of life, in nature, over time, opens the door to magic and the creation of art which moves us in inexplicable ways. Materializing that which is intangible, imperceptible, and unapproachable.
The paintings are understood and relatable, but not known. They can be explored, experienced, and created over and again in new ways each time you visit with them.
