The recurring theme of my art work is the visual interpretation
of a cosmic philosophy of universal oneness. I attempt to
express that spiritual life force which binds all forms beyond
time space and physical limitations; unifying the essence of all
religious ideologies.
Having studied comparative religions in graduate school my
drawings and clay work are strongly influenced by indigenous
cultures and idiomatic symbols. My creative style is categorized
as Surrealistic, a format which allows for vast imaginative
expression and viewer participation.
My work is reminiscent of traditional African, Eastern and
Native American imagery. Our collective philosophy of a holistic
universe has Shamanic roots, viewing spiritual guidance as
tangible and that all life forms are conscious, emanating from a
sacred source. My choice of colors for my art work is intuitive
in process and lends greater credence to the Surrealistic
categorization but has it’s origins in Eastern Mysticism.
My work, whether creating art, doing a workshop or reading is my
adulatory offering, a way of going beyond myself, of connecting,
of sharing a vision of the divine love and guiding force that
has created all life. I believe that grace lies in the guest of
the heart that continually strives for peace and love, not a
divisive distinction of religious ideologies.
