“Art not Artifact”

One of my many mentors helped me find a valuable direction in my art.  I was challenged to make art with something of value to say while lurking within the unconscious and archetypical mind.  For Over 20 years I have striven to create works of art that reveal something of our humanity.  In short, I  try to make “Art and not artifacts”. 

In this effort I rely upon Common images that I can see anew.  A dog is not just a dog but a source of meaningful  connection.  A nude is not just a body but the revelation of interior moods, feelings, and desires.  A painting of a face will make you wonder what’s going on in there and a landscape will invite you in.
