The Liveliness of the Flowing World 

The 20th century artist Mark Rothko defined art’s purpose to ”distill all experiences down to their essential unity”.

Moments in my life when I have had this experience of “wholeness” are what I continue to pay attention to as I find it in the world, especially in the sunlight scenes of the landscape as they cascade down around me. I sense more than meets the eye and so I expand these windows of the visible to include the unseen forces of nature. Exposure to natural phenomenon and the beauty of the landscape provide me with ample inspiration for my paintings..

I plant my bohemian roots to grow art that embraces the world around me as I see it dissolve into light, color, and movement. My abstract works fuse the energies of life with the influence of electronica. I am of the first generation of people to grow up watching TV. I watched and looked for nature shows that inspired me to travel and look deeply, especially to the quality of light in the scenes. It seem this cinema graphic viewpoint has crept into these works as the widescreen format with a window insert sometimes shows up, as do the electronic blips that flash across the fields. The flow of life shows like the fuzzy reflections in universal liquid pools.

These lighted pools of visual experiences are what I fish in for deeper artistic expression
