Is it a sin to daydream, to have a head filled with visions of wonderment, to burn with creative desire? Is it wrong to follow drives that propel one to make intriguing images, to reveal mysteries that would otherwise remain unseen?
is really a prayer to the Supreme Creator.

This is for the oppressed, the refugees, the imprisoned - physically or mentally; to all those whose life is bleak, colorless, harsh and oft too bereft of magic and dreams, suffering a life seemingly unbearable. For the overlooked or discriminated against. This is love - for you.

A true artist is an intrepid explorer in the tradition of those who charted new lands. An artist maps vistas never seen before and only will through the talents of that respective creative. An abstractionist records the most amazing locations of all: those found deep in the mind.

You may read a book a few times, you may watch a movie a dozen times, you may listen to a song a hundred times, but a good work of art will last you all the days of your life, sometimes longer than even family or friends. Quiet and steadfast, forever a visual refuge or sanctuary.

The world can be such a cruel place. After thousands of years of recorded history, one would suppose that we would learn important lessons such as how to get along.

Aqua vitae (Latin for "water of life").
It is through water our life comes.
As humans, we are soft bottles of water, born from a bag of water.
Without water, death comes quickly.

I'll never apologize for being creative. For it's all a constant sort of prayer, an adulation of the One Beyond Understanding. I relish being another unfolding mystery in an enigmatic universe, a manifestation of further phases of an ongoing artistic process. Existential ecstasy.

There is special kind of art.
just between you and me.
Because it reaches you, through the filter of yourself.
Your experiences shape this piece in a way that is suggestive in a unique way.
What you see is unique to who you are. Your own imagination is the key.
Imagine that.
