Someone who knows me well once described me as a 'true adventurer of the inner and outer worlds'.  I guess that's a fairly accurate description.   I have lived, worked and travelled in various parts of this beautiful planet, explored several, very interesting careers and also journeyed quite deeply into 'consciousness' though meditation, yoga and other explorations of the inner world (no drugs involved!).  

Ultimately these "two" worlds are delightfully and inextricably one and the same thing, but it is a rather accurate description.

Art for me is all part of that adventure.   An adventure towards freedom.

To me it is ground upon which I can run wild and celebrate the beauty and miracles of our wonderful planet earth and it's nature. Infinite possibilities lay before me, limits fall away, a canvas is  unexplored terrain.

In my artwork, I'm particularly drawn to moments of ephemeral beauty, the effects of sunlight, water, small miracles in the every day, and beauty and intrigue in unexpected places.  Incongruity and delight, perfection in imperfection, wonder and awe at the infinity and ephemerality of each moment.  You can read a bit more about "Why" I paint here.
