Art, especially during the twentieth century, seems to go through another movement every other week or so. But the constant that runs through it all, is that a piece of art must say something to the viewer. One assumes that the artist took some joy in its creation, but if the artist is to make a living thereby, the viewer really has the last say in the ultimate success of any piece of work.

An artwork can fall anywhere between pure visual aesthetic to pure philosophical statement---the end of the continuum that shades into works that some feel are outside the definition of art.

In my paintings, I try to capture my own vision of life, my own private reality. I hope my paintings will hit a responsive chord within the viewer's sensibilities. That is artist to viewer communication, and the essence of aesthetic experience.
