August 26, 2014 · 1 Comment

“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

But you are eternal and you are the mirror.”

― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them,
and that is eternity.” ― Edvard Munch

“We’re always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that’s all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can’t help feeling that that’s what it is.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
