I create Art for one simple reason: to leave ideas behind.
Whether it is within a classroom,
inspiring and encouraging students to create new works,
or in my own studio, creating a series of pieces to display on a topic;
the goal is the same.
I wish to leave ideas behind.
To destroy is easy - creation is the first step to divinity.
I believe the ideas and inspirations I leave behind
in the physical forms of my work,
as well as the lessons and instruction that I leave behind for my students - these will survive me well beyond my years.
It is my hope that those that I communicate with using my art and my lessons will touch a part of me beyond my meager time here.
Thank you for stopping to see what I create.
I hope you will tell others and pass it on.
