Creative expression is the birthright of every human being, therefore, everyone should be an artist... but we live in a time, in a part of the world, where the importance of art and the life path of the artist are misunderstood by many. Few children are encouraged to take the path even though the contributions of artists are important to societal integrity.

For me, painting is a calling. It is a difficult but noble path, it chooses me as much as I choose it. A true work of art, should inspire, set wonderment in motion; it should connect artist and all viewers at what I call the level of the moment; that place of oneness, of no time, no "other". I feel it is the task of the artist to provide decent points of departure for this very important, very human experience.

As with leaves that in time fall away and have individual destinies quite apart from the tree that grew them, so it is with each of an artist's works. Once complete, they eventually blow away on the winds of time and space into their own stories.
