Statement

Mental creativity

- contemplation, consciousness, conception, cultivation,

construction, conviction, and commentary -

generates an excitement and enlightenment for me.

Some ideas or moments are emotive enough

to come through the creative process.

My art allows me to stay in one of those

inspiring instances for extended periods of time.

Revisiting the experience allows me to deepen its meaning.

For me, creating is an exterior expression of my internal impressions.

My hope is that my artistic endeavors

will bring comparable discoveries to others.

The viewer picks up their perspective from my art,

allowing them to further the mental creative process.

My wish is that the observer will become the creator

and articulate their affirmations some way in their own life.
