Being an artist is a full time job. Having been doing it now for 20 years has created some of the most interesting moments with myself. For one … I always give my best to my art. Always … I don’t put a bunch of villains or shadows in my work because I feel that life is given with the best hope of success. I believe that If my work hangs in a person’s house I don’t want negative symbols floating around. So I do my research. I study the ancient purpose of them and their use. I find a lot to love about geometry and it’s perfection.
I love nature. Long walks, the beach, the warm days and the starry nights. A patch of sunflowers in an open field have a million poems waiting to be written. A smiling child or a laughing couple … or friends enjoying themselves.
There are moments of introspection … that society doesn’t have maps for. Those moments may be strange and scary. Having exposed myself to passion has allowed a lot of un masking. I often find what becomes of this can be a great teacher in life. If I have the space to share a “real” side … it’s as abundant as the fields and the starry nights and the tides of the ocean. Aren’t we all a bit like that? I think so …..
