Artist's Statement
My recent drawings and paintings are part of a continuing series of creations-cycles begun in 1999 exploring diverse aspects of computer created art. They deal in part with the evolution of universally significant pictorial systems from elemental, abstract marks and forms.

The connections between basic spatial configurations in nature and art were some of the starting points of my explorations of how the "grammar" of rhythm and energy activates principles of cosmic Geometry to create natural forms.

In considering art as a metaphor for cosmic creation, and of the artist for the Prime Creator, my work is concerned with how things come to be, and with how and what they may become.

Art's ability to encompass the fields of physical science, psychology, philosophy and myth enables it to weave meaningful images out of the individual strands of knowledge from other, more restrictively focused disciplines. Future works will continue this wide-ranging exploration of how meaning emerges in abstract art and in art's potential for providing insight into the nature of life.

I like to make drawings and paintings that are alive, that breathe and glow, that are light, enduring; that are nourishing, healing and benign; that are generous, grand and expansive; that reflect the brightest sublime expression of all that is best and highest in us.
