These new works on humanity reside on the line between the abstract and the representational.
Between the dream and the nightmare of reality.
Between here and there.

To create my Mandals, I incorporate my own archetypal images by making reproductions of a selection of my most personal intuitive ink and charcoal drawings (created over the past 20 years) and in effect; re-painting them into the body of the mandala to create a rhythm or a mantra with an inevitable message. In my effort to mirror the ritual and therapeutic uses of the mandala in Buddhist, Hindu and Native American cultures throughout the centuries; I use my own archetypal images, the motion of repetitive form, the written word, color and texture to create a place of “One~ness” for meditation, expression and actualization within the confines of “the perfect circle” to mirror the beauty of the Supernova~ after its devastating explosion.

My art is a kind of  hieroglyphic;  it is a story told through the free handed motion of my memory to make images that live and speak directly to the soul.
I created these mixed media paintings and works on paper entitled "The Journey" from memory,
driven by the desire to share and express a moment because each moment is truly memorable.
My works investigate the place of memory and emotion;
they are inspired by our earthly/spiritual human condition
and the recurring theme of life-death-life. It's all about The Journey.
