artist statement

As an artist, I am concerned with depicting the world I know, the world I experience–both on the seen and unseen side of life. And what do I know? Drama, tension, humor, contradiction, sensuality, mythology, tragedy, beauty, ambiguity, love, and God.
 
In my pastel painting THE ANNUNCIATION, I show the revelation of Spirit in that moment between Life and Death, a universal experience that we all, eventually, must face in our own way. What better subject for Ekphrasis: the transcendence of this world to the next, through the collision of words and paint.
