ARTISAN

I have always wished to be seen as an artist and a philosopher, I have very little care for what most people call success in this world. I don't care to own a fancy car, or material things, save those that inspire and provoke thought. Many people in this life have looked upon me and judged, not knowing me, or understanding, they see a strange, confused image of someone that follows a different drum. Most of my art has a theme, that theme is beauty, how it changes the beholder, not one of us can control, nor capture this ethereal force, but it changes us by being near it. A beautiful person, a country stream, works of talented architects, a painting, a cat sprawled in the sun, these images provoke a deep emotion that none of us can deny, a longing to be near it, to be like it, to own it, or in my case to create it. Most of my works are abstracts of color and form, although of late I have been getting more defined, my art more clear and strong. I hope, gentle soul, that you feel as I did as I created the works, and that you see beauty in them.
