Message from the artist:

Thank you for visiting my work at Artist Dealings.

The creative process has always been part of my personal motivation and understanding about the world around me. While abstract ideas associated with language and math have always been difficult for me, visually I am able to express myself completely. The concrete nature of the visual arts process is how I have always learned best.

As a lifelong student and teacher of art, I learned is that telling stories through pictorial symbols is a very ancient, universal concept. Through the years, I found the body of my work connected by symbols that could represent concepts and ideas that had a universal appeal. I employed symbols that were common, like a staircase, or uncommon, like the pole and crescent. As a language visual images, like music, had few boundaries.

Over time I began to realize an underlying formula, which seemed to dictate the composition of the images in my drawings and paintings. I sought to understand the meaning of the formula I had found to visualize my ideas and a language developed - a Visual Pictographic Language. My Visual Pictographic Language has a power I can call upon to voice questions I have about coping in a world seemingly filled with ambiguities, some serious, some comical, some secular and some profoundly spiritual.
