My work is a meditation. I use the layered image to encourage viewers to look beyond the obvious, to interpret and to react to the image on multiple levels, whether I am creating a photograph or a surreal painting. I use my art as a visual form of communication, and I am most inspired by irony in life, finding sorrow in beauty and joy in tragedy.
A lifetime of art and thirty years of organizing creative art events have led me to understand the importance of communicating artists’ ideas.For example I started a forum that allows artists to explore Julia Cameron's "Artist's Way" books and to share their creative glee and challenges in a supportive environment. The Artists Circle meets weekly at b.j.spoke gallery in Huntington.
I hope you enjoy my work and will return to the site often.
