My paintings: Believing that in the creative process,
the act of painting is actually a reflection of the Art of Living in
the World, the images I create merge the world of form and spirit. You
will see something you are familiar with in an environment of unity, harmony,
shape, balance, opposites, color, texture. I seek to express the mystery
of our natural world and my relation to it. In other words, the distinction
hinges on the other-worldlines and this-worldliness. It is both personal
and impersonal; both real and within a dream-state.
Beautiful country and the earth elements we live with provide a show of infinite expression. I am an observer first and then an artist.
Experience brings technique, yet the medium of watercolor
has a life of its own. Hopefully my paintings reflect the Joy of Watercolors!
In the viewing experience of my art, hopefully you will wonder a little about your own connection and response to your life on this wonderful earth.
"Above all else the painter depends on natural gifts and should preserve his/her naturalness but must go to the wisdom of the ancients to perfect his/her natural endowment." Shen Tsung-ch'ien
"One of the oldest and most deeply ingrained of Japanese attitudes to literary style holds that too obvious a structure is contrivance, that too orderly an exposition falsifies the ruminations of the heart, that the truest representation of the searching mind is just to 'follow the brush.'" Jun'ichiro Tanizki
