Art is more than craft, the skill of making. Art moves my heart and mind further than the function of an object or the utility of an idea. Art as the agent of beauty, represents, investigates, explores. Art works well when it forges significant connections: physically, psychologically, emotionally, cerebrally.
I am satisfied by an artwork when it becomes clear I still have much to uncover through experiencing it.
Art arises from within: my dreams, love, joy, hope, anger, fear, and my need to know these things.
