Artist Statement

artiststatement_ajai

As an artist, you have to have an “Artists Statement” that says something about who you are and what your art is about…here’s mine…

The artistic and creative force is within each of us…I just let it out when it scratches at the door…

I’ve often told others that my hands are guided by something other than myself. I do not create images, they find me in my dreams and on my quests for knowledge and journeys through life. These images manifest via mind and spirit taking over matter and medium and encouraging it to rise to a higher expression. I am merely an active participant in the process.

I have learned to recognize from a collection of possibilities what resonates most strongly with my dreams and personal vision and choose to pursue images and projects that reflect the expression of my soul.

I have a thirst for knowledge and a desire and ability to work with diverse individuals and groups to attain a common goal. My talents range from painting both large and small scale landscapes and portraits to digital photography, sculpture, video, web design, interactive installations and multimedia as well as mixed-media. I am personable, punctual and responsible as well as creative, talented and skilled.

What was once a long journey through tall grass and muddy water has become a short drive to the local watering hole…I look forward to this journey.
