I have always been inspired by the patterns and symbols of early cave  painters and the Egyptians.  I want my art to awake in the viewer a  sense of timeless and meaningful  expression on canvas or board rather  than walls and tombs. 

The ancients told the story of their daily life with limited tools yet left a powerful message.  I  use music that inspires a “world view” of history and connection that  channels into my hands and brain.  I focus on these strong feelings to  create the work. 

I want my canvases to look old, weathered, ancient reflecting the sources of their inspiration. 

I hope my mission attracts other like minded artists  as well as viewers to be moved and challenged by my imagery and perhaps  read messages that even I don’t know are there. 

Art is meant to  inspire, motivate, intrigue - hopefully, my journey, my work and mission  are reflected in my work.
