There has always been one theme in my work and heart...to create and reveal beauty. I can't help myself. While many artist are content to create 'cerebral-mind' works...I am attracted to the perfection of beauty and what that feels like. We live in a sometimes crazy world that can look frightening and chaotic. Beauty is the doorway, the threshold of seeing and knowing 'Heaven on Earth'

Years ago I received a degree for a BFA in Art from West Virginia University. But what is truly required to be an artist is a sense of adventure and playfulness. Techniques are helpful, but what emerges from the heart through play is what touches the artist, the viewer and world. I love seeing people get excited about my work. Each piece is a labor of love laced with a touch of adventure.

To read more about my adventures I am writing a book called 'Hitchhiking to Nirvana' that is autobiographical in scope and metaphysical by design. It will be ready for first reading by Fall of 2010. I will be offering excerpts as I write.
