Thoughts on recently installed exhibition.....

Every artist looks forward to exhibiting their work -  that is a certainty.
It is the culmination of the creation of alot of work - and the result of the creative process which is both complex and exciting . As I reflect on the 18 works which I will have in my upcoming exhibition at Soka University, I think about the act of creating, how those works became a reality from research, thoughts, ideas and concepts, experimentation with materials and techniques and much conflict and resolution. I am left with the sense that the process of creating is as much "art" as the finished "product". This intangible "place" in a sense is the "art". It is that illusive treasure chest within my being where the intent, subject matter, and "soul" of my work resides.  I enjoy sharing my work with others and I feel fortunate when i am given the opportunity to do so....

Now begins the next phase, beginning a new body of work...
