Time Capsules

I am a storyteller, and I paint space and time.... my time, and perhaps in some, small measure, our time.

I look, and I see back through civilizations and history, farther back in prehistory to the advent of fire,

even farther through evolution to the primordial earth, and finally to the origins of our known universe.

I am also a dreamer with visions of a coexistent future complete with alternative life forms and time travel.

And, yes I do believe in magic, myth, ritual and the raw transformative, anemistic power of art.

Yet, like all sentient beings, I inevitably live in the present reflecting on our condition and our promise.

Ultimately, I am a painter of ancient pictographs, contemporary stories and distant fantasies.
