My breakthrough as an independent artist came with my introduction to the work of Dale Chihuly, which emphasizes spontaneity, freedom of expression, and vibrant color combined with provocative forms. The influence of the abstract expressionists - Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, et al - cannot be overstated. The intention behind my painting is to provide a powerful visual experience to the viewer, which cannot be denied. Think of the painting as a powerful magnet and the viewer as solid steel. "Liked" or "disliked" is not the issue. Does the painting continue to draw the viewer back for progressively deeper viewings? When this occurs the painting is a success. The captive viewer will inevitably ask, "What was the inspiration behind the painting?" The very act of painting provides the inspiration. The painter first looks at a blank canvas with no other feeling than to produce a painting. With each brushstroke or dab of paint the imagination begins to loosen like muscles during exercise. With imagination comes enthusiasm, until they unite in a consort of creativity, and a beautiful painting results. I have written a Shakespearean sonnet which expresses my artistic philosophy. Philosophy of Art Like fire hawks or lifeguards by the sea, The artist sees, with trained and knowing eye, The golden opportunities to be The savior of what otherwise would die. Each action states its essence, then disbands Into the heavy fog of memory, Unless through art the act itself expands Into a testament to verity. As a result then we are all enriched By what with words, or paint, or notes, and more, The artist in a flash, or trance bewitched, Reveals as truth from what his hands restore. And this is true for paintings by Van Gogh, As well as those of Michelangelo.
