Artist’s statement
I am intrigued by the relationships—the
similarities and the paradoxes—of man to his environment, to the eternal energies of
the magnificent oceans, to the promises of the lotus bud, to the changes in nature that we
call progress. I look forward to my own learning, searching and growth as I sit in the
cocoon of my own metamorphoses. I am not yet a butterfly. If my work has triggered a
memory, touched a nerve or sparked a dream, then I am pleased that we have been able to
share that moment. |
