Artist’s Statement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m a surrealist but I also consider myself a landscape painter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to paint biomorphic forms but I’m also interested in capturing the moods of various landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to depict the weather and the seasons – the seasons especially because seasons note the passing of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter has a special meaning for me as well. It represents solitude and wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of my work is inspired by ‘mindscape’ music such as New Age, psychedelic, certain classical pieces, prog rock and medieval music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I grow older I’ve become increasingly more intrigued by what life’s Final Door has in store for us. Is it a doorway to eternity or oblivion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
