"The eye follows the paths laid down for it in the work..." ~Paul Klee
	Art is its own language, and thus I can’t verbalize exactly my intent or vision.   However, my goal is to fill the canvas or page as beautifully as possible.  I am especially interested in creating both order and mystery.  I work constantly in the tension between variety and unity, detail and design, complication and simplicity.  Most of all I am concerned with how the viewer will “read” the work, in other words, how his or her eyes will move into and through the space. But finally I want the art to be as interesting and pleasing as possible.  And what I hope is that the viewer will experience the same pleasure and excitement I had making the work.
