For me, art is not so much about the perfection of techniques as it is the faithful adherence of stepping into ones soul strength in those moments when the brush moves onto the canvas. My aim is to continue to come more from inspiration for the sake of creation itself. Art is a practice of getting out of my own way, leaving the myriad of daily tasks behind, and giving myself over to another process that allows my hands to show my eyes what my heart sees. I hope that my paintings always convey a bit of childlike wonder for the harmony and grace of our natural environment.
