The Essence Series ~ 2013-2014

Over the past 40 years my work has evolved from representational oils on
canvas to a minimalist technique utilizing primarily bold black strokes with small areas of color a white background.

My current art is the product of decades of releasing, of letting things go as I attempt to transcended intellect, education, and the expectations of others.

I’ve had to put those aside. for the most part I’ve even put down my brushes; my art is mostly created with my hands. I feel that each of these works is a snapshot of my soul at the time it was created.

As the years have passed I’ve found that meditation and its resulting spiritual connection prior to beginning a piece is
the key to the success of my Essence works; without it the work fails.
