Artistic Musings
I cannot recall a time that drawing and painting did not beckon me. San Francisco Bay Area proved a fertile ground for honing my skills early, while studying various creative disciplines. A near-death experience at 23 began my journey looking past the surface of everything in life. Influences and interests continually morph and evolve where my growth and understanding related to spiritual truths often surface in my paintings. While working with the physicists at Lawrence Livermore Labs and NASA-Ames Research Center as an illustrator for their cutting-edge esoteric concepts, their counsel while processing the near-death experience was rich ground and inspiration for understanding expanding concepts and visual imagery.Always looking for the spiritual, forever seeking those moments of clarity where depth of feeling can be found. I don’t always fully understand what I might achieve each time I create but I’m always hoping to connect in some way with another’s psyche, to learn and grow within myself. Perhaps as artists, when connection's are made, we see a glimpse of who we are and what we need to do to breathe more life into our work. Thank you for taking the time to get to know my work. Namaste.
Continuing my studies under specific artists contributes greatly to my skill level, Continuing spiritual exploraton and research into other areas of physics and Noetic Science research infuses my work. The Sr. Art Directors who took my under their wings early on as an emerging designer and technical illustrator in SIlicon Valley (a big shout out to Laurie Stapleton & John Gianotti)...to the master painters who have given generous amounts of their time to enhance the scope of understanding the gift on so many levels, thank you is never enough.
Their encouragement has helped me define who I am creatively, which I’m finding to be a lifelong process. The best honor I can give my creative and artistic mentors is to always bring something new, fresh and insightful into the work as evidence of the growth. More recently I have taken to working in series and find it inspiring to approach one subject from a variety of perspectives, and to have the opportunity to apply new techniques in a variety of similar application until it becomes a relaxed extension of the creative process.
Always looking beyond the veil for the spiritual, forever seeking those moments of clarity where depth of feeling can be found. I don’t always fully understand what I might achieve each time I create but I’m always hoping to connect in some way with another’s psyche, to learn and grow within myself. Perhaps as artists, when connection's are made, we see a glimpse of who we are and what we need to do to breathe more life into our work. Thank you for taking the time to get to know my work.
Namaste.
