I create and share art with the intention of communicating and celebrating sacred, profound and beautiful aspects of life and spirituality. I aim to make work that powerfully references and communicates the vital connection to the divine that we are all invited to experience and share in. I choose to align with the universal current that recognizes life as spirit and spirit as life. If we claim to hold spirit sacred, then we must hold life sacred. And even if we do not “believe” in spirit then all the more reason to hold life sacred.
My art is currently born of experiments and practices with drawing, photography, digital collage, alternative printmaking, mixed media painting and digital meets analogue airbrush body painting. The muses which I currently tap into to create my work include human and animal forms, sacred geometry, all forms of spirituality and reverence for nature and humanitarian ideals .
My physical process often begins with digital collage composed of photographs of nature, animals, natural and man-made structures, sacred geometry and people. I own an old oil toner printer from which I assemble a collage of prints which I then transfer the prints to pre-painted wood, paper or raw canvass. The transferred image becomes a layer of the mixed media painted collage as I continue to work the piece with layers of paint, airbrush, stencils, love, hope and desire towards my goal for a meaningful aesthetic with harmonic resonance and impact.
Right now I am living in Trumansburg NY just outside Ithaca. I’m in the best art studio that I’ve had the pleasure to call my own thus far; and my main focus is on illustrating my first children’s book, “You’ve got the UNIVERSE in your hands”.
