MAIN OBJECTIVE: To produce authentic art stemming from my artistic passion, which I discovered I had at 21 years of age after returning from 2 1/2 years of travel around the world.
*ALL ART IS PRODUCED FREE-HAND, using HAND-EYE COORDINATION, WITH NO PROJECTION OR TRACING. MY CHALLENGE IS TO SHOWCASE MY INNATE DRAWING ABILITIES AND TO CONNECT SOULS WITH THE SOUL OF NATURE. Digital hand paintings were produced from 2015-2016, when I got art back after losing it for ten years. Acrylic canvases were produced from January of 2017 to now, and are currently in production.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was." - Richard L. Evans
"No one can go back and make a brand new start, my friend, but anyone can start from here and make a brand new end."
- Dan Zandra
"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere." - Agnes Repplier
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."-Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"To thine own self be true." -William Shakespeare
What is, is more extraordinary than what could be. The beauty in nature and all of existence, lies in its authenticity. It is always ever changing, but consistent, perfect and cohesive.

THE BACK STORY:
Water Lilies: #6 is the sixth in my water lily series. I have created and added this piece to this 12th series. Monet had a huge garden and pond with water lilies constructed, with a beautiful Japanese bridge, so that he could focus on these beautiful flowers. I was lucky to find a huge pond of water lilies at the Garfield Park Conservatory, in Chicago, Illinois, which I have used for this series. I have always loved water lilies. There are numerous species of water lilies at the Garfield Park Conservatory, which allowed me to focus on different varieties of flowers. Water lilies are the symbol of enlightenment and purity. They cover the water below and halt the formation of algae. I love their natural form. My water lilies are dedicated to Monet, the master, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. Dimensions: 12" x 36" x 1.5" This painting is based on an authentic scene from the Garfield Park Conservatory, in Chicago, Illinois. |
