Artist Statement I view art as a series of works centered around a theme. The idea of multi-media is like players in a band using their art to reach beyond individual abilities to the greater vision. Multi- media ... one spirit. The transcendence of language, beyond media into the realm of meaning is the heart of literature. It is this commonality of shared meaning I seek to discover in my work. The love of landscape and cityscape I see as a primal recognition of home or source. Those of us who stop to admire the timeless beauty of special places, are refreshed from distraction. We renew our feeling of destiny and self. Just as genes define traits of our existence, I see landscape and cityscape as the book where our shared spirit is written. My play in this group of paintings was to maintain the image as a picture, and let the gesture of hand tend toward modern abstraction. I use the craft of the painting to underline the metaphorical nature of light and object. Sometimes it is homage to the moment, other times, eluding to the infinite patterns echoed within these fragments of the universe.
