CORE

I am influenced by many artistic movements as well as artists whom I've met and admired. At times I study these influences and experiment. I study technique, style and I often create small canvases, trying to see what others have seen and felt. Painting after painting--one after the other. Night after night this goes on and always fragments of my own vision break through. At times I write the words I need to write, straining to perfect technique and cursing because I'm not perfect. What I see and feel must be expressed in my own way. So in the end I take what I've learned and go back inside myself. This where I am most comfortable. This place tells me nothing is perfect. My art isn't always pretty. Neither is life. Often the mainstream ignores what I have to say. The layers of understanding that must be peeled away. The pain that one must endure. It doesn't matter anymore. I create what I feel. I do what I do to please myself. I do it to survive.
