Artist Statement 

The creative process for a specific painting can persist for days, evolving and manifesting in a manner that appears random but, upon closer examination, is a series of precisely delineated actions that are not contingent on chance and culminate in the expression of a particular emotion. 

On other days, creativity is a process that occurs within me and has its origin in the existence of the whole. In my being, as well as in the universe, creativity seeks to find a way to flow through me independently of any thought. 

On other days, creativity manifests as instinct, intuition, knowledge, passion, desire, perception, leading, impulses, dance, poetry, touch, and sight. Creativity is not a singular mode of action; rather, it is a multifaceted aspect of our own and universal energy, an inherent quality of our nature. I posit that creativity is accessible to all who are willing to embrace it without restriction.
