There are many things that are interesting and not beautiful and there are things that are beautiful that are not interesting. I gravitate more towards interesting and feel very happy when beauty shows up in the middle of that. Most of my attention is on the excitement I feel for my subject, and that feeling can generate a reverence for the inherent beauty.

My charge is to illuminate the vastness of my subject. The essential nature of my subject drives me. The drive to express what’s foundational about my subject is the same passion fueling most artistic expression. This starts as an openness to see the magnificence in an unfiltered way. To allow awe. Then paint.

Very often I consider myself dancing with the work. I start out saying, “Would you like to dance?” Actually, it asks me, and I say yes.  I look for inspiration in life, or I feel open to an invitation to dance, and then I see this marvelous Victorian home, and I am so taken by the sunlight on it, and the beauty of the windows, and the loveliness of the Victorian detail. The stunning work done in the garden, or it could even be the most humble thing, a broken sidewalk, or a lovely plant. I try to be open to being moved, and I am, perhaps, too easily moved. I can be lost on that broken sidewalk for weeks if you watch me. I accept the invitation by that aspect of life. I follow the flow, and allow it to tell me where to go. I ask the building in front of me ‘tell me where you want to go and I’m your servant.’  I let it fall forward.

"The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice. The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed. But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.
The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back. But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt. Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame. Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy...
Because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth."
Painting: Truth Coming Out Of The Well, Jean-Léon Gérome, 1896.
