Who inspires me?
Mark Tobey, Rothko and Still, Hofmann, Kandinsky, Kleé, John Cage and Ravi Shankar, Deepak Chopra, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Dali Lama, President Obama.
What inspires me? Life, music and color…the pursuit of self realization. In the process of painting, I discover that spontaneity is a window to authenticity. The idea for many of my paintings is that the process of individuality, knowing yourself is a journey in itself. I find joy and reverence in visceral energy…like the sun, wind, rain, earth. Imagine the forces of nature in the act of creating life. I want to capture the wonder of our universe, its radiance and intelligence in my paintings, and do it with drama and emotion.
