I see my work over the past twenty five years as a philosophical investigation into the nature and function of art and the artist in contemporary culture. Viewed primarily through an appreciation of the Impressionists and Modernists of the 19th and 20th century. An their belief in the significance of their work, and it's influence in the birth of the modern era. A significant influence in this endeavour has been the artist and spiritual teacher Adi Da Sanraj.

“The circumstance of existence, in and of itself, is disheartening. That is why it is necessary to do art. Art is an essential response to the conditions of existence, a means by which limitations are transcended, Reality is Realized, Truth is Realized, Light is found. Without that activity – there is nothing but this intrusion of changes and death. Participation in an art form should be at least as great as that art form. Art should change you. That is the whole purpose of it. True art heals. True art restores equanimity. Art must regenerate the sense of well-being. That is its true purpose. When art is really useful, it serves this ultimate process of healing, well-being, higher sympathy, and Spiritual Awakening.”
