Return to Paintings

    Art is an expression of not only what we see of the physical world, but also of what we imagine it to be.  Before the artist lays a brush to canvas, the poet puts pen to paper, or a scientist formulates an hypothesis, the elements of that work may have been presented many times over in the mind.

   These paintings present images of the workings of the imagination, the venue of inquisitive thought, scenes from the ‘mind’s eye’ and the sometimes bumper-car experience of trying to visualize what one does not quite yet comprehend. 

Return to Home

In the creative state a man is taken out of himself. He lets down as it were a bucket into his subconscious, and draws up something which is normally beyond his reach. He mixes this thing with his normal experiences and out of the mixture he makes a work of art.

E.M. Forster,English novelist & essayist

    Imagination is everything.  It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.  Logic will get you from A to B.  Imagination will take you everywhere.

Albert Einstein,Theoretical Physicist & Nobel Prize Winner

You get ideas from daydreaming.  You get ideas from being bored.  You get ideas all the time.  The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
