There is an old parable about an elephant. This elephant was captured by humans when it was very young and chained to a post so she could not escape. Try as she might to free herself, the elephant was unable to do so and eventually learned that the chain was stronger than she was. By adulthood, she was only tied to a stake with a piece of leather or rope. The elephant became so domesticated that overtime, she grew into believing she wasn’t strong enough to free herself….That is, until she was shown.
We are all like this elephant, waiting to be awakened, waiting to be liberated. Many of my paintings large scale because I don’t feel limited to a small piece of canvas. I work through visual communication. It is my objective to represent Mother Nature in her beauty while subtly pointing to environmental or social issued that are often ignored.
In each painting there are hidden faces or hidden objects that are tied in with the concept of the painting.  Educating and expanding the human awareness are two chief goals of my artwork. It is my endeavor to assist fellow human being transcend to a deeper level of consciousness. An ancient Chinese Proverb states, “An image is worth a thousand words” and if a mere glance my liberate the tethered elephant of someone’s mind, I feel successful as an artist and an environmentalist.
