I’m always asking myself….whats the art for…what’s the purpose?

To be honest it’s hard to avoid this searching question. Over the years I’ve been painting it’s become too easy to get caught up with the chatter….”how many did you sell?” and ‘how much money did you make?”

This is the most common question I hear when I’m asked about my art. People can, and many have, become fixated on what the $$ value is of my art. As if it’s a measure of success. I completely understand that for most people they might not really understand art and why artists do what they do – so this is the ‘go-to’ question. I guess my challenge is to let this attachment to $ float through and not become something that drives me into a direction in my work that feels wrong and doesn’t feel authentic. I’ve found that chasing $ will never lead to beautiful, original and authentic work.

My art is about me and my thoughts and my take on the world. This is what satisfies my soul and allows me a voice – one that I would never express verbally.

Please view and enjoy my work knowing it’s about the world through my eyes, it’s my take on things – it’s not driven by the $ and it’s not driven by anything other the thoughts floating through my mind.
