 Robert Henri, one of the great American painters stated, “Art is the inevitable consequence of growth and is the manifestation of the principals of its origin. (Life) The work of art is a result; it is the output of a person’s progress in development. It is not an end in itself, but the work indicates the course taken and the progress made.”
 

My painting is an exploration and expression of my own spiritual understanding of the world around me. My focus in this exploration has been through landscape painting and my relationship to creation. It is a philosophical undertaking. It is a way and a means of life. For me, the meaning of art is its relationship to the spirituality of nature and our environment.  My awards are the rewards I receive in the process of painting.
