Philosophy of Fine Art (F)art

My expressive art is an attempt to access a space in myself that constructs my personal perceptions and concepts of reality. I've found that in my painting and illustration practice any attempts to begin a piece with intent or representative action impedes my ability and honesty. In contrast I allow intuition to guide the trail from my internal realm to the work. In doing so I often depict scenes and subjects that I don't understand. Painting is like dreaming. This stream-of-subconscious processing of tangled imagery and symbols is not meant to be comprehended but instead felt and embraced. First by me and then hopefully by YOU.

Thank you for looking and reading
