A fine work of art has the potential to inspire and to evoke a new awareness for its audience. Its content, mood and intensity are all crucial. The need to pioneer, discover and play compel me to create, but probably most compelling is my need to communicate. Swamp Pinks is a compilation of a portion of the abstract painting, drawings, photographs, poems and essays on art and communication that I've worked on for thirty years. My artwork I set out with faith, that for what I have created will speak something that is worthy of being and the retention of its experience.
