Artist's Statement:

Art is a complete approach to life rather than an afterthought or a product. It is, for me, a practice, a process of living, a living being.

Being an artist has been with me always, as has the responsibility this particular gift imposes. The form and content flow out of everything I have thought and been, perceived and created. Its curiosity addresses many of the same concerns and passions which have been part of my particular person, yet reaches out to embrace and cross boundaries.
The practice stretches organs and limbs, bones and muscles, which are the nerves of its experience and of its mind. Ultimately, when followed and honored, it produces gardens, dreams, poetry and art.
