These are my paintings and photographs. I made them for you. I have carefully considered their composition, their line, their movement, their rhythm, the hues and tone, their opacity and transparency . I have tried to balance the jostelating convolutions of painterly jazz brushstrokes with areas for your eyes to rest; places of deep solitude and contemplation. I have considered craftsmanship and artistry; I have weighed the organic and loose against the rigid and mechanical; I have emoted deeply all I have and considered the future and the past. It is through profound struggle and growth that I have developed tendrils ‘tween distant, but curiously related dynamic concepts and compose them into meaningful objects of inspiration and contemplation. It is my entire life that I offer you, all my love, all my joy, all the awkwardness, all the transcendent moments of clarity, all my ideas and contemplations and innovation, these images are indeed like water taken from my surging, serpentine life force river.
