A Message – A Mission

I started painting 30 plus years ago as a hobby, an extension of a childhood interest in art which was my favorite class in elementary school. Gradually it became more of a compulsion to convey my interest in nature, color, and design. Then it became a calling or mission of sorts, to deliver a message which I decided was best conveyed through a combination of poems and paintings.

Painting is my method of expressing my love of the natural environment with which mankind has been entrusted. I aim to capture the eye with color and soothe the soul with an atmosphere of ethereal tranquility.

I often incorporate a human element in my portrayals since mankind is an integral part of the environment. I hope to achieve an overall effect of harmony and co-existance between nature and mankind with a subtle implication of the greater cosmos. I believe maintaining a spiritual link between humanity and divinity is essential for successful living, and for the preservation of all life on earth.

The purpose of my paintings is to induce a few moments of quiet relaxation and contemplation. I also hope to instill an appreciation of nature and the need to protect the delicate balance between human needs and the fragile environment. Finally, I hope to impart the importance of our spirituality during our short earthly existence.
