My spiritual work is where my heart is. I have always painted Angels and spiritual entities and probably
always will. Its part of the connection to a higher state of consciousness, a more cerebral, enriching thought process that
I have felt even before I became really serious about my works' content. Now, I can't seem to do a piece without spending
a lot of time on its concept and design and hopefully I will be able to take new work much further into areas I don't
even know about yet. That's the most exciting part of new art- like a movie being produced, where the artist is the director,
but the whole idea isn't clear until the final editing, or brush stroke.
Much as I admire great technique,
wthout deeper meaning, it would become boring and lifeless for me to just do a painting that looks good but has no real soul
to it. I am lucky to be able to make a living as an illustrator, as this keeps my fine art free from commercial gallery restraints
and my mind open to new avenues of thought and process. I paint spiritual work for my self, but its interesting to find that
most people who see these pieces feel its my best work and respond to them in a way that is both gratifying and fullfilling.
Its that connection that artists want - when another person feels touched by a piece, and its a real stimulus to do better
and more meaningful images,
My Angel images are not specifically Christian, but universal, as I feel religion
is -within each of us. Hopefully you will like some of these, but more importantly, you may find some meaning there that is
a connection to some universal truth.
