If My Art Were Nature

If my work as an artist were Nature, the source of my inspiration resides in the crisp altitude of the Mountaintop, where the mind is quieted by the mystical expansiveness of the vibrant panorama, the body dissolves into aromatic alpine winds, and the heart swells from the sheer awe of witnessing that which Life is revealing.

The work itself is the River that sings: cleansing, purifying, sustaining, and nourishing life into existence. 

I am that which holds the River: steady yet yielding to her free-flowing vivacity. 

As I give shape to her form, so, too, she gives shape to mine.

She arises
 through diverse streams of curiosities, merging into a harmonic confluence of inspiration that flows through my being with colors more vibrant than the eye can see. 

It has taken many twists and turns through desolate lands to discover this wellspring; steadily building a momentum of yearning to live into the gifts she so generously bestows upon those who seek to know Her.
