When fresh paint touches the canvas, I feel as if I am able to give life to a new creature. It all begins with a thought in the mind; then a call to action. With each new stoke, something yet unborn continues to grow. As the canvas comes alive, the exhilaration of seeing a new form take its shape captivates me, and the hours pass by; it’s as if I’m in a time warp. I lose track of the day—, forget to eat… Something from deep within pushes me to work. I truly love to paint!
When I am finished with a piece, I sit back and stare at it for hours making sure there is a sense of completeness; often adding little details. It gives me a sense of peace and happiness amidst a crazy world to know that something that will bring others happiness or provoke positive thought has been created. I am always striving to improve on my work and myself as an individual. This is why I study art and how society’s thoughts can be seen in it. I feel exactly the same as Fyodor Dostoyevsky when he said: “Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don’t say that you’ve wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.”
I appreciate all artistic styles and skill, but am most drawn to those that allow for some individual interpretation. I have a free flowing and loose style. A certain amount of vagueness, I feel, is a good thing. I think it allows one’s mind to wonder as they lookon. I love to see people’s reaction to a piece when it is finished. Some will see things that I did not intentionally put in the picture, but, in fact, are there.
My hope is that my pieces will stimulate the mind, warm the body, and encourage the soul.
