The Quest
1987

My paintings are my search incarnate.  They are my questions taking form in a world where neither knowledge nor ignorance are absolute.  They are not answers or findings to share but rather the journey one takes not knowing where it began and where it ends.

My work is my quest in the field of the self where sanctity and sin, wisdom and madness, light and darkness, life and death grow abundantly.  It is my dive to the depths of my solitude where I stand face to face with my self, with god, with the devil, with nature, with all generations past, present and future.  It is my search in the silence where voices sometimes whisper and some times shout and scream, where mountains are leveled and valleys rise, where destiny is unveiled and freedom is sealed.

My life is my gift to my work and my work is the gift of my life.  My work is about me, but isn't it about you too?  By digging to the depth of my being I discovered that I'm only a pilgrim, a pilgrim whose journey is "The Quest".
