"Artists are granted a certain freedom: the license to create other worlds. Whether abstract configurations, hyper-realistic images, earthworks or photo conceptualist images, the moment a thing is called art it lives in a certain framework of perception: it is viewed as something which is not merely part of human existence, but is an expression of the artist's perception of existence. An individual's experience of one world is transmitted through the creation of another. Art is very nearly miraculous as a vehicle through which we can be transported to other realms of human consciousness; intellectual, emotional, or transcendent.
As a painter, I take liberty with this freedom and play in whatever fields of paint I choose to, each series being an opportunity to explore visual language in a fresh direction, challenging my skills and stretching my visual vocabulary. Paint itself is mesmerizing, a hypnotic shimmering substance with which other worlds can be created; to watch the transformative power of color as it glides across the page is like the thrill of being a god for the painter. To be bold and engage in the heady adventure of creation requires faith in the ephemeral, faith that visions must be made manifest. The ecstasy that is felt at certain moments when painting is the lure that continues to drive me on my journey with pigments and oil."

Art Quotes

The progression of a painter's work as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity.. toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea.. and the idea and the observer.. To achieve this clarity is inevitably to be understood.

Mark Rothko

There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.

Jim Dine

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

Freida Kahlo

If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

Keith Haring

Believe it or not, I can actually draw.

Georg Baselitz

Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Michelangelo Buonarroti (Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni)
