Statement

There are quotes from famous creative people stating that they do not know where the things they produce come from. Throughout history artists have courted their muse as if it were something other than themselves. And that is the way it feels. Years are spent learning techniques, trying out different styles and feeling a sense of both success and defeat. Success always feels like a gift from somewhere and/or someone. Defeat feels like that other entity has abandoned us. Over time our craft is increasingly perfected but is always dependent on the presents of that Other. 

NOTE: This web location started out as strictly an archive for everything I ever painted... the good, the bad, the ugly and the amazing. It is still needed in that capacity but it has now also my public website. All pieces that are sold have been moved into the "Sold" collection and removed from their former collection. However, they will still show up when you open "All" but will be marked "Sold", "Donated" or "Gifted".
