Artist Statement

Creative art is beyond profession, it is a new art form not of this world, but rather to bring to life the inner vision of the Unseen. I use symbols in my artwork, as:" Symbols have the capacity to reach very high, towards something ineffable and to arouse Wonder; to attempt to define their meaning precisely as to diminish them."(George MacDonald.)
A mysterious force greater than myself breathes, and that breath inspires creative art.
