Artist statement     Art, like music, offers a language beyond words. To be innovative, it must be created from an inner wilderness, free of stale and redundant concepts. If art arises from an inner necessity to express rather than from a preconceived idea of beauty or style, then art can reflect, in symbolic imagery, our primal nature and oneness with all things. Through the instrument of my being, I let intuitive experiment choose color and form, an invention comparable to musical improvisation. For me art is a spontaneous journey on the crest of the Tao’s wave, an exploration born of passion, spawned by the Mystery. Initially, I am the maiden falling in love – then later, the ruthless editor-analyst. Ultimately art is an innocent interactive mirror of my innermost process, whisking me out of time into the Timeless. My life’s passion is to live and create art from this unconditioned well of being and to inspire such a journey in others.
