Organism and Energy    

 

During our lives we absorb and assimilate, and all that there is to be had, just as easily, we give back, and it stands waiting to be taken in by others just like us.

I am myself, I am also, father, husband, friend, and instructor. As an artist, I grow through my relationships.  I am a fragment of universe, founded in conversation, in subtle interactions, through proximity to others - these elements manifest in my essence as a creative being. Each time we are covered by the shadows of drifting clouds we can be quite certain of the likelihood that someone else will know our cloud too.  We cannot posses the moment just as much as we cannot posses the footprints we leave behind on the dew-drenched blades of grass.

 

In Oklahoma life moves along at a pace like that of the branches of the Sycamore swaying in that breeze that rolls off the north slope of my roof. My work is slow, and Tulsa doesn't rush me. As a visual artist, I am fortunate to reside in an environment that complements my work and my work ethic.  The grand sky that blankets our state is a wonderful source of inspiration, and in my fresco work I feel an intimate relationship between trowel, plaster, pigment, aether and earth.
