BIOGRAPHY Born in San Francisco, CA, 1952 ARTIST STATEMENT The language of my work is about the dialogue between the sacred and the corporeal. It is about observation, remembering; about seeing into the worlds that lie beyond passive awareness - seeing forms as beautiful metaphors for what might be called a Goethean 'passage'. As such, it is about relooking at our constructs, beliefs, an reforming an intentionalized awareness: finding the nature and quality of being. Within the language of my art, dichotomies exist between the world of the intellect and that of the senses - forming an idea of a transcendental 'other'. It is this recontexualizing of the painting that I wish to (in)form: to recreate ideas of a purposeful, and sensual, dialogue - an experience of sublimity and grace.
