Artist Statement:
"My work is a world of experimentation and discovery. The
pensive horse, the apprehensive deer, the risky sunlight. A
soft breeze, a drop in the ocean. The rock, it mirrors mans'
first attempts at creation, unique beside the natural world.
It reflects a myriad of approaches and techniques. Each work
opens up a multidimensional interpretation, a flow not needing
language. Sometimes a window appears carrying the message even
further. The tactile quality of the work makes one feel to touch.
There are intentional coincidences and possibilities. A definite
balance and harmony. My hope is that the onlooker will use the
work to help in enriching self awareness, discovery and harmony."
