About Me

I am a multidimensional being who likes to embrace the nonlinear. I often draw expansive conclusions from a mere millisecond of insight.As I continue to aline my art with my spaciousness, now, I offer my artist statement:-- My pieces are an experience of lucid presence bedazzled by colors. My awareness of continuity is revealed through the luminous journey that each piece takes me through - a non-verbal dialect of colors. At times, with the sensitivity of water, I am wholly receptive to all that I encounter in my dilated spatial awareness. I see my art as a tangible echo of consciousness, a piece of me momentarily fractured on to my medium, a reflection of honorary stillness. My art is fashioned in way which allows me to tap into Tao, the great mystery. The work can be perceived as "Islands of order in a sea of chaos." Or, funny enough, "Islands of chaos in a sea of order." Each painting or mixed media piece has a semblance energized by my essence. Beauty then becomes an accident through thesynchronicity of colors I let flow and witness.--"Freedom is obedience to universal Law; and we feel most free when we obey the law of our own being. That law is within us and seeks expression through" --Ram, 1974
