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”
