About Me

Constantly evolving...currently wondering how long it will be for someone to report my profile painting as x-rated...morphing into a complexity that defies logic and reason with a very warped sense of humor...but i say it with visual images better than words...i guess what you see is more of a reflection of you as a person, than of me...like my artwork, everyone sees a little something different...i have a facination with alliteration, consummate calamity currently claims control.
"There are thoughts born in my heart, born in the pain of ending one life and beginning another, born in the excitement of a continuing search for Life's meaning. Some people do not have to search, but, I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts, and hidden rivers and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a partof our lives as is our laughter. We Searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all, we want to love and be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will impede our wandering, not prevent our search nor lock us in prison walls, that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or to compete for love. This is a thought for wanderers, dreamers and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything that is good and beautiful. It is for those too gentle to love among wolves"
it's all written there in the art. one just has to take the time to see. i mean really see, not just what they want to, but what they shouldn't or don't want to. i paint from my soul. the core being of me. more so than i could ever express in words. i'm just not done speaking yet

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

those who can confound me regularly, people i can laugh with, someone to do really stupid stuff with. other artists. the rare breed of human that will tell you the truth. and maybe, just maybe, you?
oh, and an easel that is taller than me so the painting can be at eye level while i work.
