Being an artist is a practice.
I make myself ready to create, to create from nothing. I trust that the conversation that happens when I make art will call me to a new level of understanding. I am interested in what I don't know. Art making is a commitment to a continual cycle of breakdowns followed by breakthroughs. Then one is graced with a short time of peace before one begins anew.
Since my return to the East Coast in 2000, I have not identified myself as an artist. Instead, I built a school for children following my other passion, progressive education. A drawing by a child inspired a series of exciting new works in oil which caused me to renew my commitment as an artist.
I invite you to enjoy this presentation and to contact me if you wish to be notified as I create new works.
