i follow the path of heart,
in the darkness, my interior world consumes... and the reverie begins..
it is in this dreamworld i travel within, to uncover inner landscapes... internal rhythms,
- to create kin with the magic of brush, paint and canvas...
this exploration is tireless, and knows no boundaries.
in the sweet silence of dreaming, truth is revealed...
this effortless meandering is the germination of a completed canvas.
When at the beginning of this dreamstate... i know not the outcome...
this is part of the journey...
... the galvanizing process... the unveiling... raw segments of unborn thought.
These are the rare visions, the harbingers of beauty...
the bones of my work - to create, from pure imagination
and the endless travelling.
my mission is to manifest beauty, truth and joy
... come join my journey.
