Artist
Statement
My philosophy and favorite saying is
“It’s the journey!” 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. My paintings are the expression of a
chosen moment in time. 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!
