“A work of art arises from the perfect balance between the conceivable and the inconceivable.”
- Andrzej Dragan, photographer
The natural beauty of the Florida of my childhood is contrasted in my memory with the loud artificial colors of the tourist trade, the tourists themselves, and sun bleached hues in between. College brought me to Ohio and dramatic changes in season. I became enamored with blue shadowed snow. It was also a change from youth to adult; innocence to responsibility; ignorance to empathy.
Emotions and experience began to have color. Music had color, and so did conversation, history, and literature. And death has its own colors...inconceivable but true.
I am classically trained to make many studies, drawings, monochromatic, clean and scientific...process. My pay off, my joy, is in the messy colors through which I can express my feelings. I conceive an idea and wait patiently for the reflective color in my day to bring to completion something indelibly magic.
There is so much still to learn, to see, to document and to share in my future as an artist. I imagine a great journey ahead. In the meantime, how I get there is a colorful mystery.
