Profile
I have over 30 years experiece in design. Design means I create to please my clients. I have been painting for years as a way of relaxing, of getting thoughts out of my mind. Overtime a few were purchased, and with the little time I had, I could only paint a few more, with these eventually selling as well. Through all of this I learned that art and design are diametrically opposed. To create art, an artist must only create for themself. You must make each statement, each stroke, each image, each color the truth as you know and feel. Compromise on that and your work may look nice to many, but you find in it yourself nothing that matters. Sticking to what in your heart feels right while painting makes for works of expression that you believe in, that make you feel good regardless of what anybody may say. And when someone buys a piece, and takes the time to tell me why they bought it, how it makes them feel seeing it on their walls, and that they understand and appreciate the unshakeable elements of truth involved - well, there is no way to explain how it makes me, as an artist, feel. I try to create true art - and I can only hope that a few viewers of my work find in it some sense of its meaning.
