Artist Statement

The scenes of my intuition come out on paper with no controlled thoughts - depictions of my inner world extending from fanciful to whimsical to demonic life forces, shapes, beings that inhabit space on the paper.


They create themselves. I just let go and allow my hand to form a vision - then step back and watch the forms come into being. I can see sight, memories and ideas and realize what they mean, where they came from, and why they crept into my awareness. Now they need to come and play. I enjoy the thought that they are what each separate viewer wants them to be.
