I have always been intrigued by how my faith, beliefs
and life experiences on a conscious and/or subconscious
level affect the tenor of my work. This translates into
meaningful symbols, shapes and colors that I come back
to and use over and over again. I usually paint in layers,
and in between the layers I insert prayers, blessings
and names. I feel that this adds positive spiritual energy
to the Universal dialogue that is forever taking place.
It is a very special thing to bring into being a work
of art that is unique and has the ability to evoke thoughts,
feelings, responses and reactions from anyone who visually
comes into contact with it. There are no language or cultural
barriers in art. The viewer connects with the art work
and there is understanding which leads to an in depth
relationship.
