When we begin to lift the veils of censorship and repression in painting, a great deal of energy is unleashed.

Look upon paintings with eyes of mystery rather than judgement. Support the need to enter into the sacred space beyond evaluation.

It is extraordinary to see how the discovery of one single free stroke of paint can fill you with such joy and amazement.

What I want people to realize is that there is enough inside them, that everything that they really need in order to feel a sense of aliveness and creativity is already inside. And not only is it inside them, but if they allow it they will have an interesting life.

When you set aside the mantle of control in the painting process, images arise from ancient layers of the psyche.

Your art is part of the big painting of your life. You are on your own, standing by yourself in the middle of creation. In the beauty of that aloneness, and in how you respond to it, you will find your passion.

To play is to listen to the imperative inner force that wants to take form and be acted out without reason.
