Painting as philosophy, is an attempt to make visible the invisible. Propelled by a philosophical nature, a strong tendency to question the nature of reality, truth and beauty, art becomes a means to pierce the veil. What are the underlying forces? Is there some greater design? Is it possible to experience Being in a transpersonal way?

Doors of perception open when dichotomies are transcended: order and chaos, male and female, rational and irrational, man and nature, science and art. The vision is to unify duality, to bring together what is regarded as mutually exclusive. The method is balance and relationship. The effect is diversity within unity, potentially beautiful.

Painting contains its own dichotomies: dark and light, warm and cool, thick and thin, flat and dimensional, straight and curved, bright and muted, freedom and control. These paintings are meant to bring together such dichotomies, hopefully generating an esthetic experience with a sense of Being.
