About My Art
My art is a reflection and record of my personal journey of embracing change, adventuring into the unknown, transforming the profane into the
sacred, facilitating the invisible into form, giving voice to the unspeakable, with an eye toward the unknowable and re-membering. All this,
I believe to be part of the human sojourn.
Art making, for me, is a living story or legend in the tradition of ancient heiroglyphs chisled on stone walls and myths and prophecies. A sustained connection with nature and self is the core requirement for such
a journey.
Who, if not the artist and the scribe, has made note of these diverse worlds we pass through, preparing the ground with possibilities for change, carrying the torch of hope and illuminating the
caravan of dreams
as it moves toward enlightened futures?
Before beginning my formal education in painting, I was a dealer in arts and antiquities in New York specializing in 18th through
20th Century
Fine
Furniture, Paintings and Oriental Rugs.
My interest in history, psychology, philosophy, literature, archaeology, mythology, ancient teachings and traditions, religions, intuition and divination, futuristic vision, fun and pleasure, serve as a constant
source of inspiration.
About Luminous
Ultimately, my paintings paint themselves, and I show up to facilitate the process. What I am able to capture on canvas or in words is a small glimmer of the immensity and complexity universes cast in their orbit.
Before arriving in Sedona in 1992, I lived in
San Francisco
and then
Marin County, California
. Having graduated the
San Francisco Art Institute
with
a degree in both Painting and Performance/Video, I made a clear choice to live a simple life that would allow me to mature in my craft.
Attempting to document the unseen and ancient/future worlds, I have used writing, painting, poetry, photography, multi-media
performance art
,
psychic and healing arts, sculpture, movement, film and video as mediums to record, preserve and reflect the journey.
Since childhood, I have been very drawn to, and inspired by, Sacred Sites throughout the world. The energy and subtle transmissions of these places
undoubtedly inform my work and life.
Since 1972 my work has been shown in galleries and museums and I am represented in
private collections
. Anyone can enjoy my work, be inspired,
relax, breathe and be healed. Luminous 1
