"Art, painting, music, dance, math, science, nature, living, playing are all connected - they are part of life, my existence / my awakefulness. Experiencing life and painting opens up a keener awareness of my world around me. After thirty years, artistic exploration still intrigues me and holds my heart. During this time my art has evolved with me. There is truth in art that I can not hide from."
