For me, painting is the ultimate soulful act. It is the act of revealing my soul visually. Heart on sleeve, here is what I think, here is what I know, here is what I feel, here is what I wonder all arranged wtihin these four edges. Wow! What could be more glorious? The ability to transform color, shape, line, and touch someone genuinely and deeply. This is why painting will never die, because it bridges the gap between visual and spiritual modes of perception. It connects us to our personal and collective understanding about the world. This is the part of painting that I am most interested in, that visual process that resonates with our memory, our history, our psyche, our soul.
For me, each painting is a personal and historical landscape that represents the spiritual landscape in all of us. They are like our DNA. They are time capsules that take all that we love, all that we desire, all that we are, and hold it there for that moment in time.
