I am an artist, photographer, musician and innovative thinker. I am a philosopher with a unique mind and intellect.

I'll be the first to admit that most of my work is a subjective synthesis of sometimes disparate elements and experiences that explore the what-if? mind-play from both conscious and sub-conscious perspectives.

I live however for the experience of focused bliss that informs a work of pure Art, with the accompanying loss of self into the 'transcendence' of the act of creation itself.

The resulting piece transcends 'product' to become Art.

I'm probably stepping on a lot of toes with this, but I have had a lot of years to think about it and I feel that any work that is synthetic, derivative or interpretive, regardless of quality of technique or expertise, can be defined as Craft.

In order to truly be Art, the work, regardless of technical expertise or finish quality, communicates a unique perspective to the person experiencing the work, which both stuns the ego mind to silence and points beyond the work itself to the state of creation that obliterates the self, replacing it with a state of active 'being'.
