Artist's Statement
Painting is an expression of the consciousness of the
artist.
My interest in painting is to express a greater greater
degree
of consciousness in my work.
When the consciousness of the observer resonates
favorably
with that of the artist, the experience is pleasant and promotes
joy.
I believe the purpose of creation is the expansion of
happiness.
Painting is my small contribution to that goal.
Enjoy!
Apart from commissioned paintings I've completed over the
years,
I have worked as a muralist and faux-finish painter, as well as
painting
maquettes (small models) for movies and theme parks.
I currently teach Art at San Cayetano Elementary
School and the
Boys and Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley.
