Gateway to the Subconscious<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Artist Statement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The main theme of my work has always been the connection and synergy of all living organisms. It\u2019s symbolic of the delicate balance and inter-dependency of life. I see these interconnections as a perfectly choreographed dance where each element is singular, yet part of the whole. It\u2019s a simple and timely message, and my hope is that the viewer recognizes this in my artwork and takes with them a sensitivity and awareness of all life forms on the planet. My art is a process. The physical act of drawing or painting taps into my creativity, and there are always new discoveries and surprises. I view this process as a gateway to my subconscious because it\u2019s not analytical. It\u2019s completely intuitive. I typically begin with an initial inspiration, such as an ancient bristlecone pine tree, or an exotic orchid, or even the structure of a single cell. Sometimes this initial inspiration is representational, and at other times it may become abstracted, or so stylized as to appear surreal. From that point on I trust in the creative process to lead me. I start every painting with a detailed drawing. The act of drawing is where most of my creativity happens. It\u2019s like a stream-of-conscious where each new element leads to another, and the connections between them evolve \u2013 sometimes with surprising results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
