I believe that art is about communication and I have been actively “communicating” throughout my life through my art. For me, art in whatever medium has always been my most effective means of communicating the inspirations and observations I believe worthy of commentary.
“Art transcends the ambiguity of language - a single painting can speak volumes.”
It is my belief that being an Artist is neither a job, nor a trade but rather a way of being - it defines who you are, and the true difficulty is not in learning style or technique, but rather in learning to accept that “definition” - I choose to define myself as an Artist through a constant process of becoming; we learn by doing and through a continued process of communicating through our art, we attain the freedom to access our directness.
“True art is a journey to rediscover the simplicity of directness you already possess”
Artistic ability is a gift; a connection to the Universe through which each individual Artist focuses the infinite potential of all possibility in their own unique way - accepting this gift and allowing it to “define” you comes with the responsibility to share that gift with the rest of the World - this is who we are...
If we learn by doing, then my intent as an Artist is to do the work...
“There are no shortcuts to the process”
