Note from the Artist:



Purpose:

I paint because I must, because I have to. I want to create beauty and express myself in this world where so much is forgotten and falls by the wayside.

I do my best not to forget or ignore. Painting is record-keeping; it is a cataloging of time. It’s a proof of my effort to live and of time spent. Therefore, my purpose as a painter is one of self-preservation and self-expression, with a desire to create a record of time and change the world.

I want to touch the world. I want to make an impact on the earth. When I was a boy, my vision for change was so grand and overzealous; I set myself up for failure. But now I see that things must happen in small waves. Changing the world means starting with myself. I must begin with one small painting, but still think about filling museums.

Think big, start small… think big, act real.
