Welcome to my website. It is a pleasure to introduce you to my art and the projects I do. My paintings are universal in nature although they have sometimes been referred to as mystical, spiritual, visionary, or transpersonal. My intent is to make images that strike a deep and fundamental chord within the viewer. My desire is to trigger a resonance that will bring forth in some manner the origin of all being and our conscious recognition of THAT. I paint from this conscious recognition and am dedicated to improving technique so that the most truthful translation can occur for others. My teachers have been life, trial and error, and the memories of insights given by grade school and high school art teachers. As an adult I began painting in order to explore the experience known as Synesthesia.

This is a crossing of senses. In my case it involved sound and color. Later I experienced a life changing event that then led to the images I call the Archetypes occurring in a spontaneous and vibrant way within my inner field of vision. I have kept these paintings as a group to be housed together through sale or donation.

I then attempted to develop a language through geometrics by looking again through the inner field of vision to the Universal Field of Creation, which I call the Matrices. I call these paintings the Geometrics.

The experience of looking through the inner field of vision at some point merged with all other experience to expand into what I call Direct Seeing. This is simply a broader and deeper way of knowing that is available to everyone.

My work has been shown internationally in galleries and museums. Some work is in collection and the remainder continues to be available to those who wish to have it. Some items will be available as high quality giclee prints on canvas and in various sizes.

The humanitarian projects I do are also universal in nature and structured in such a way as to be meaningful to all cultures, races, religions, and political orientations. My history includes global travel and interaction with individuals of diverse experiences and beliefs. It is toward an understanding of ourselves as a species and ourselves as individuals that my work is directed.
