A LIGHT IN THE FOREST

About Me

As an artist I usually think from the opposite side of the mind. I feel that the position of the artist is humble he is simply a channel. My first love is my art. I believe that the creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. I am a sculptor first, although I draw, paint, write and speak as well. As long as I am creating I find happiness that is unmatched by any lover. Well, that may be a bit of a stretch! I'm very passionate about that too. I try not to think of my art as work. I believe as long as we are doing something we enjoy we never have to work another day in our lives. Pablo Picasso said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." I hope that I never do, grow up that is. During these periods of relaxation after concentrated intellectual activity, the intuitive mind seems to take over and can produce the sudden clarifying insights, which give so much joy and delight. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it for you. /a
