I am self-taught and explore each time I paint.  I approach a blank canvas as if I were traveling: What is here? What will I find?  I love the search and discovery of the lyrical soul in a painting as it develops.  I get lost in the motion of colors as they splash on a white space.  For many years I wrote poetry and listened for the rhythm of words and lines.  Now I paint and look for the rhythm of lines and colors.  My paintings start in reality but finish in the imagination.  This is the joy of painting for me: colors, lines and shapes arising from the blankness of a canvas, transporting me, as music for my eyes.
