"What can you do with your days but work and hope

Let your dreams bind your work to your play

What can you do with each moment of your life

But love tip you've loved it away

Love til you've loved it away."

Bob Franke

"Those who are willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries."

Theodore Roethke

"I think it is a way of making a connection between yourself and everything."

Fairfield Porter

A new way of looking at a familiar visual incident leaves one exposed to doubt and questions. At the same time it is a source of joyful engagement - a kind of 'lets see if we can go down this path.'  That feeling of engagement and doubt is a driving force in getting me up and out to the studio or in the field each day. The possibility of moving among mysteries while through vision and hand and heart, connecting myself to everything.

Now, seeming much more vulnerable, I will have on display to the public a set of paintings representing the last two years' work. The most difficult aspect of this is the interruption from my working routine. I eagerly await the day after opening night when I can get back to my work at finding ways to engage with the visual world.
