Networking with other Artists and people

Question: Do you see any directions that Art may lend itself in the New Age?

Answer: Well, I'd like to explore the idea of multi-dimensional reality... I'd like to see what painting can do in that respect. What new things might be found on the canvas. What other possibilities it might have to offer...things that might have been overlooked in the past.
I am very much interested in being contacted by like-minded or even challenging personalities to help bring on the New Age. I'd like to very much contribute to this "shared feeling" through painting which I hope to update into the 21st century.

Esoteric Soul-Based Astrology

Question: Any clues as to what your art is about?

Answer: Lately I've been thinking and reading alot on Esoteric Soul-Based Astrology and working towards expressing this through my Art. I want to break new directions into the New Age by creating an Awareness in Visual Shape...it's in the back of my mind as I create my paintings.

Trending on New Ground

Question: So, as an artist, what are some of your present concerns?

Answer: I find myself interested in Van Gogh's use of deep perspective as well as his involvement with humanity and contact with nature. Cezanne interests me in his rather ambiguous spatial relationships. I'm also interested in what Algernon Blackwood referred to as the greater subconsciousness and developing an awareness of this. With a lot of New Age thought there's this great interest in multi-dimensional mankind which I think is a great theme to explore. I'm interested in how, as a painter, I might express an increasing awareness of this.
