the latest, Dec. 2012, have been abstract paintings in acrylics. they are beautiful.I feel a spirit , the Ascension.
My Art comes from subconscious thoughts, dreams, and unseen possibilities. I paint in watercolor and love the flowing qualities of this medium. Sometimes by adding collage I increase the novelties I may discover. Guided by My Muse, I can transform these images into new attainable achievements, discovering the tales I am here to tell.
Like a great invisible force, I want to conqueror and save our world from destruction, to save our animals and all the inhabitants on the planet from extinction, and manifest, transform a world, to one that is harmonious.
So with my paintbrush in hand, I enter the battlefield to reorganize and design planetary goodness. Humor and imagination offset the harshness of this captured existence. Elevated resistance fuels my ongoing stubbornness to the things I want to change. It seems like I have fought these battles before but the years bring on new challenges and new men of genius to provide guidance and lead our world to new heights of glory.
Harmony and peace are seeking a rebirth. These are my dreams and my truths; I hope you enjoy a new look at life and the world through my eyes.
Enjoy.
The space project is an exceptionable opportunity for me to visually apply these principles to another people’s conscious memories and to give them a new voice, a new perspective to tie them with a global consciousness, bringing new pride to their community and achievements
