About The Artwork
This was painted on aluminum foil that covered a drip pan in a charcoal grill. The chard foil was glued to masonite and painted over with oils. The subject matter began to gradually appear and was enhanced the more I painted. New ideas evolved and new images appeared to tell a story. There was a natural looking path in the cooked surface which looked like a trail. I remembered painting in the Flint Hills and a female hiker came walking toward me on the trail I was painting. This painting started by placing that lone female hiker on the natural trail. I then added the top of the hills to the horizon and was going to enter it in a Flint Hills Show but missed the deadline. I studied it more and began working on it. The brush was naturally tangled and dried out with wrinkles in the aluminum and heat from the fire. I added lighter green leaves which created a symbol of birth. The child, cherub, was first to be added, and the female was changed to be an angel of God without the wings. The animals were last to be added one by one to represent the dangers during a life's journey. When I was done I realized it was about me and my relationship with my mother during my lifetime. I know enough about the psychology of art therapy and realized I created my own story, of me and my mother. "A Life's Journey" is about life, death, and rebirth. A mother leads her child with a sense of burgeoning life through a stormy environment. She is teaching the child how to negotiate a path through the perils of life's adventures. The mass of tangled brush runs rampant across the canvas giving cover to impending death from the creatures along the way.

I am a story teller using visual images. I paint what has been a part of my life. It can be something I have experienced, things Ihave noticed that others haven't, or locations i have visited. My art has been described as living somewhere between reality and expression, contemporary and realism. Sometimes I paint fast and without a duplicated procedure. My paintings evolve constantly, changing in form, technique and color; some ending with a pure impression and others more defined. The manipulation of shape and textures is an on-going process and shapes my work into a personal style with a universally recognizable talent to create signature art. I was educated in the Armin Hoffman "Swiss Style" program of visual expression in the relationships of point, line, and shape. That discipline became the structure of self evaluation. An artist has to know themselves and be true to their unique capabilities. I am an extemporaneous painter with painting as the adventure of exploration. Art critics and judges looking at my body of work have described my art work as such: " I quickly really connected to the visual style of your paintings, creating a very impressionistic look on American Life. I love the everyday attitude to your subjects, representing figures, landscapes, and still life images through such a perspective that makes these images feel as if they are already a part of the daily lives of the viewer. Your paintings translate a very resonant feeling of nostalgia, making the viewer feel connected to something so familiar, yet distant, and almost unattainable. Your art conveys such a strong sense of space, stripping away so much real world context that we are all so heavily exposed to, and transporting the viewer into this world within the frame, where everything feels so much simpler and peaceful. I found your art to be an incredibly refreshing experience, as a viewer. It so successfully creates a sense of space and mood, emotionally moving the viewer into the world of the painting, and filling them with nostalgia, and a sense of peace. " Charlie Kassabian, RAW
