Artists Statement


My heart is in my brush
my soul is in my pen
I stumble through the darkness
into emptiness and then

I splash paint upon a canvas
or ink upon a page
and the colors fill the void
and my vision takes the stage

and my words retell a story
of my dreams and hopes and fears
as my paintings chase serenity
as I travel thru the years

so I reach into my heart
or I peer into my soul
in an effort to bring beauty
to a world thats dark and cold

I try not to rush to judgement
as an inspiration nears
because time will help me crystalize
my hopes and dreams and fears

I stand back and look and listen
for my critics to reply
and their words are often silent
as they quietly pass by

So I look into my heart
and I reach into my soul
and the magic makes me better
and the passage makes me whole
