Artists Registry

My art is primarily about spirituality and sensuality. It also encompasses humanness, passion, justice, dignity, nature, peace and most importantly love. The spiritual represents the soul and the sensual physicality. I believe that these two realms must interconnect and unite positively together in order for the whole world to evolve. Art is a way for bringing these two forces together and demonstrating their mystical power. Therefore, I believe in the ultimate divinity of my art and the purpose that it serves which is to enlighten, to empower and to embrace the world at our highest level. I have been for many years exploring faces and figures. I am particularly intrigued by faces because they represent humanity. I am interested in the whole world of faces from all cultures and races because of their tremendous beauty and grace. I have also been fascinated by masks and the concept of illusion. The powerfrul mystery of the mask to hide and to enchant is richly enigmatic. I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively around the world and therefore had the opportunity to visit many people and a vast range of cultures. Due to my own personal beliefs and respect for the divine,I have also developed angelic imagery and pursued mysticism. I want my art to be powerful, passionate and provocative so I like to use rich colors, expressive brushstrokes and dramatic imagery. I have recently begun to explore flowers, sky and water imagery as I am amazed by the beauty and sacred tranquility of these themes. Nature's tenderness, expansiveness and powerful universality enriches and calms the soul. I have been greatly fascinated in developing my abstract landscape paintings and expanding various techniques with this subject matter. I like to layer and lift the paint onto the canvas while maintaining the beauty and purity of various colors, values and tones. I also completed a painting of the Vancouver Canucks' goalie entitled "Roberto Luongo - Number 1" because I was inspired by his dedication, calmness and inner strength.I see myself as a painter, yet I enjoy all mediums of visual expression. I am also a poet and love the expressions of this genre. My life and art are a continual journey of exploring spirituality, sensuality, the raw powerful beauty of the bitter and the delicate fragility of the sweet, yet most importantly love and kindness. I believe that it is very important to always strive to see the beauty in the ugly, for everything is a gift from God and part of one's spiritual growth.
