Information on the Art by the Artist:

This exhibition is entitled "Deep Connection to Nature". Nature, our only true teacher, can transcend our thoughts, desires and curiosities and push creativity beyond limits if we will only be still and listen. Some of my interest is to express the delightful curiosity of nature, particularly the color and light quality. I also delight in the many choices of media available to me and feel free to express in a 2 or 3 dimensional manor. A friend of mine recently coined a word for my work as "Dremagine" or "Imadream"as he sees it as a collaboration of my imagination and dreams. It is a curious thought to me..as I soak in the details. As surely, it is the "essence" of my expression and the process of delightful encounter that truly intrigues me. To live a life of creative encounter so to speak.

Glass:
This hot sculpted glass work was created and produced in Beeville, "Beevillian" glass or Murano, Italy. My interest is in the solid sculpture form that lends itself to glass as a sculptural media for expression. A material so alive and fluid that a meditative dance occurs, it influencing me as I influence it until the collaboration is complete. As Alfredo Barbini once said, "You do not force glass, but follow glass."

Drawing on Steel with Fire:
I have recently become intrigued by drawing on steel with fire . The gestural line and excitement of making marks with fire has become extremely exciting and intriguing to me. These drawings seem to be moving towards a sculptural form incorporating glass as well. I do not know where I will end up but the process is extreme. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do!
