Wilderness Light & Magic
I am currently doing a series of paintings which depicts the spirit of nature and how it relates to the all things.In my trips into the wilderness, I have come across this magic in which I call the Wilderness Light”. This light is the light of the spirit of nature . The power of the the life-force. In these paintings I superimpose into my design a force field which depicts this life-force and over this design is painted my interpretation of the connection of the
metaphysical world to the physical world by painting spheres, starburst and swirls within the landscape itself. I also create the windows of other dimensions so that I so that I can interconnect these dimensions into the same
plane.
Sense the beginning of my life I have always loved to paint and found that this light that I see in the wilderness has given me the inspiration to express myself. I also find great joy in viewing the works of the Hudson River School artist such as Thomas Cole, Frederic Church and Albert Bierstadt. I am also inspired by the great
literary artist like Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman and my favorite John Muir. Like Thoreau wrote over a hundred and fifty years ago “In Wilderness is the preservation of the World.” These great artist of the past were involved in the transcendental movement and experienced this same Wilderness Light and they interpreted it in
there own way. My work has great meaning. Meaning that asides we have to turn back the time and to worship nature the same way the Native Americans did. We have to guide our spirit to see the times signs and to let our hearts except there truths and to never stop seeing natures glorious spiritual song.
My work has been exhibited throughout New England and California and has been published in numerous Magazines publications such as the Appalachian Mountain Clubs “AMC Outdoors”. The winner of the 1996 AMC Art competition winning in two categories. First place in scenery and second in people.
I am looking for a place to show my work and need representation. Ive tried on my own but with little success. Im bound and determined to make it in the art world no matter what. My philosophy of the Wilderness light is what Im all about and painting is the best way I can present this message to the world.
I was born to be an artist and this is my reason for being. I am left with only three fingers and a thumb on my right hand and lost the use of my left arm when I was shot by an intruder in my house and lost my little finger on my right hand in an industrial accident. My belief is that theirs a message in all my misfortune and that is to paint what I believe in.
