I have to understand what the image is about before I can select the best tools and techniques to express the idea. Creating the image allows me to work with both my hands and my mind. Sharing the work allows the viewer to see, think about, and discuss how I see and interpret the world. Enduring art speaks to the human condition with emotional honesty and clarity. As a practicing artist it is difficult to recognize if my images are or will be of any enduring value.
Art is successful if it stimulates a reaction or discussion within the viewer.
This process enables art to exist long after the paper has crumbled away or the musical notes have faded into silence. Although I understand digital technology and use it everyday - I try not to get distracted by it. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
