“This above all: To thine own self be true and it must follow, as night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”

ON THE FRONT LINES
From the caves of Lascaux in 20,000 B.C. to the grand halls & booths of ART BASEL, men & women have made art for their tribe, their families & themselves, Art has been a great carrier and connector of human stories, myths & messages. When painting late at night in my studio, I feel this river of creative impulse, feeling & production flowing around and through me, as a present producer at the "front lines" of this long progression of our human his/ her story (history).
MATERIALS & MEANS
The means of my work are as old as the Old Masters - oil paint, ink, canvas & panel. I have also been using, since 2008, cement trowels to spread the paint, cut lines, shape spatial bodies that float in the misty backgrounds of my work.
IDEAS & CREATION
The dangers & threats to our well-being & safety are all around and within us. Whether in present, past or ahead in our future, making art is one of our most powerful ways of gathering & harnessing our individual energies to create higher healing solutions for ourselves, families and our wider community. What we make is like a banner leading the march towards our collective wellness.
CULTIVATING SANITY IN INSANE TIMES
Artists tend to express, along with many other dynamic sciences, the Zeitgeist of our times - both the psyche and leading trends of across society. Through their dedication, an artist's inventive expression creates an oasis of reflection and renewal that can bolster our resilience providing us sanity in insane times.
