"In my art I try to minimize control.  I want to open up the window of intuitive creative energy. Forms and subject matter emerge that astonish me. It may take time to grasp, but some kind of enlightenment shines through in the process.  This enlightenment is the real purpose in being an artist and for the existence of art. Art is not just a matter of aesthetics. It embodies spiritual messages in a code of color and form that our inner being responds to.

Matisse said it best: “When I am submissive and modest, I feel surrounded by someone who makes me do things of which I am not capable.  All art worthy of the name is [spiritual... or] it is nothing more than a document, an anecdote."

About his art, he says: “In my photos I try to show the world about me, mainly portraits of what takes some patience to see:  wild animals, natural people and their habitat, and the little things about us. My paintings' only aim is to express artistically what goes on inside me, the world within me".
