Huddled beneath the stars,

Man is an image of nature, the cosmos and the galaxies

Created by the same natural laws which created the whole

Unity is the reality

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity an hour.

---William Blake

Each painting appears as an abstract mirroring, often with visual reference to

a finish line, to find it then obliterated by the illusion of multiplicity.

While this is a belief system to which I adhere, it is also the main concept

which directs the composition of my work, sometimes very directly and often

subtly achieved with multiple layering and transparency and a feverish

attempt to instill peace.

This is the force which drives each painting. Quietly, offering old

considerations.

Consider the pyramids mirroring Orion, Angkor Wat, water earth and heaven,

or Chinese drawing perspective, and symbolic Architecture

All creative forms, an attempt to sail upon the expanding Universe.
