My Work- " Magical Realism"

 

Four major concepts inspire my work:

   The great abundance, coupled with beauty that the earth about us continuously avails.

   The submersion into one or other of these intimate realms of nature.

   The expression of universal possibility and awareness; Including all-encompassing Duality.

   And a need to see and perfect the richest quality of presentation in a given medium.    

       It’s a miracle with what perfection our world constantly; Buds, Blossoms and Fruits, Germinates, Develops; in Eternal Connection from Conception to Death; Eternally Continuing.

 

                Rich with contrast, we experience, radiance and reflection; night falls then day dawns, we are equally immersed in darkness and in light.

                This greatness is all too often overlooked; taken for granted. My wish is to remind; to refresh the point of view, and perhaps to nudge the viewer into another reference of observation and understanding.

       Within the whole, lives an endless wealth and bounty. Each holds its own unique form and beauty. I want to bring the viewer in and surround her/him with this grandeur, let them see as I do.

        I would fall short, could I not depict what my eyes see and my mind assimilates, with a competent richness and understanding of the medium chosen for a particular piece. This is a far reaching goal, yet necessary.                            

Greatness surrounds me

   Inspiration always there

                              Ideas are flood waters

                                                Overcoming.
