About the Art
|
|
|
|
|
My Way
I connect with the music I'm hearing and often listen to the same CD repeatedly for up to 6 hours at a time. This allows me to feel the music in my heart and soul. I derive a spiritual power from the music and that of the artist who created it. The music blends with my own emotions, inspirations and the paint itself to become a synergy of artistic expression.
