"Earth And Sky" - Fine Art ReproductionEncaustic, 12 x 12 in., 2016
"Earth and Sky" was inspired from a dream I had one night in which the world around me took on a very surreal and vividly colorful appearance. Once awake, I had to express it somehow. Dreaming has always fascinated me; that, it seems, is when our imaginations are most free to fly. |

STATEMENT
Whether I’m writing a story or poem, painting a picture, or creating a sculpture, I want the end result to be something meaningful that causes the reader or viewer to feel something, to be moved in some way, whether happy, sad, surprised, inspired, nostalgic or simply transported to another place for a moment in time.
