With solid but subtle intention I want my paintings to be about experience.
The experience of the creator.
The experience of the viewer.
I want the onlooker to have a sense of the serene life I seek. I want my work to convey the sense of connection to a peaceful existence.
I experience a private attraction to and
a pure and quiet delight in creating and representing
serenity...
tranquility...
a stillness of the soul...
As these are primarily inner landscapes, I want the viewer to have that same experience: to pull order and balance from the quiet of simplicity.
The veil of illusion keeps us moving as sleepwalkers. I want to see past the veil and have a more solid connection to the divine.
