Featured image: How Do I Get There
To be yourself
Who I wish to be
An artist
I work hard
I read
I listen
I think
I observe
I trust myself
But
Does that make me
Who I wish to be?
An artist.
I imagine
And artist for me
Sees the invisible
Feels the intangible
Achieves the impossible
And most importantly creates
Originals.
But
Again I ask myself
Am I that?
That which I
Imagine?

I am honored that my work, Inner Compass, won first place in the Lakeland Art League's annual membership exhibition at the Center for the Visual Arts in Wausau, WI. Judge Diana Weber-Osypowski offered these thoughtful comments about my work: "You consistently challenge us to open our minds and allow the imagery to tell the story in its own way—your work and accompanying narrative work in harmony to enlighten and challenge your viewer to contemplate. I am not the first to congratulate you and compliment you on your unique and forceful way of entertaining, please, challenge, and confuse. I appreciate your talent, skill, and expertise. You are a dynamo."
I am deeply honored to receive this award and truly grateful for Judge Diana's kind words.

it holds new mysteries

Surrealism presents the familiar as unfamiliar and uncanny. Surrealism is the juxtaposition of seemingly unrealized imagery.
Artist Marcel Duchamp said this after the father of Surrealism passed; “He was a love of love in a world that believes in prostitution.”
Oh, I love that quote—a lover of love in a world of prostitution.

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”
