Artist Statement
Evolving is one of life’s great mysteries. I know that my artistic ability has evolved throughout the years. Do I question this evolution? I do but, do I have a right to? Should I trust that I am moving in a direction I am meant to be heading towards? If you ask me to tell you when I began this journey…I honestly couldn’t tell you the exact time or moment. Perhaps, it was a happenstance or maybe it was always there ready to manifest itself at the right moment in time. Sixty years ago, I entered into an evolving world, finding and seeking who I am and what purpose I had in it. My art is an expression of who I feel I am. It is at times a contrived plan. A plan that is slow and steady; taking me where I feel I should go; a controllable reality of sorts; whereas each pattern and juxtaposed hue has a clear and projected place. And then there are those times that my creative prowess is a transcendental occurrence. I find myself then emerged in and unaware of my surroundings relying purely on the presence in and out of me. Often, this presence takes me to places that frees up thoughts and allows me to see life as an uncontrollable reality. I have come to realize that both are intrinsically a part of my life as an artist. The controlled and the uncontrolled have always had a paramount place in my evolving creative world. I trust, therefore, knowing that it is a part of life, but also a metaphor for how life should be for me: with every work of art a new and exciting frontier waiting to be explored and shared.
