Change is a necessary element to self discovery, moving through and releasing negativity and transmuting oneself into intelligent, emanating Energy.  This ruling principle is what begins my rebirthing process by cleansing off the destructive effects of my half life earth birth.  My work in art begins in chaos, moves through understanding and comes out in symmetry and harmony.  There are many facets which I have just begun to uncover as I realize and cathect who I am in this state of human consciousness.

 Recently, I have begun to break the mold and search for my beginnings to become my full self.  Through therapy and the Adult Child of Alcoholics (ACA) 12 step program I am connecting with my inner child and reparenting myself.  THIS IS A HAPPY INCIDENCE, MUCH MORE SANE THAN DENIAL.   Examining my half life with joy, I am fulfilling that which God gave to me, and rediscovering the shining pearl of truth left behind in the darkness.  I am now freed from the constraints that would keep me from free and true expression of self. In this challenging life, I have discovered that when fixated upon the physical and material reality, the lower ego self can rule one to extinction.  Having not been completely destroyed by this, I am learning to focus on mental, spiritual, and metaphysical understanding and catharsis of self, knowing full well that it is time to move on to the expanded True Self.

I believe the Divine Principle of the universe, through my karma, is helping by making me uncomfortable in the material and physical existence so that I am able to be strengthened by this life experience.  Art is an expansion of myself from the restrictions of a dysfunctional home environment.   Surviving childhood and my arrested state, I have to grow and learn the truth of life.  I have discovered a new world within myself which holds many facets of my being.  I am growing and developing aspects of myself heretofore lying undiscovered for lack of a creator and, now, I claim the creatorship of myself.  My creations are for fellow travelers in this realm.  I originally used my imagination to escape from a ambivalent,  scarcity oriented home environment and found a creative world where I could be connected, free and creative and develop my inner knowledge for happiness, creativity and joy.

I choose the joy of artistic creation for my gift to give to the world because I am freed by it.  It accepts me and shows me who I am.   Art has been a vacation for me, a place to expand my awareness from deep within my vivid inner universe into the vastly different outer world. Art is a therapeutic tool which connects me with my inner joy and heals the rift between me and the truth of human existence. Colour is very important in my expression of real life. The colour spectrum provides endless fascination for me.

I see colour, in its many ranges,  as the many levels humanity passes through to reach the Divine Principle.  Colours manifest moods and connect with deep feeling and can show the unique variety of beings, animal and plant, in this state of existence.
