A telescope on the artist
How did that passion grow into the quest that it is in your life, and what are you searching for in your art?
“The images that arise in my paintings are mostly auto-biographical or auto-bioemotional. They are like snapshots of my inner 
state. I enjoy painting the female figure. I think the result on the canvas is in some way a record of my relationship to the Archetypal Feminine, which is to say an introspection of my relationship to myself. The idea of painting as a process of self discovery relates to alchemy and personal growth. In this way, painting can be a pursuit of knowing myself at my most authentic level. It is asking the question of what is inside of me that must find its way to the surface. It can actually be quite frightening at times.”
