Artist's statement:

I graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from the California College of Arts (and Crafts, as it was called then), Oakland, in 1972. During the years I spent in art school, I became interested in what felt to me like a mystical state that I fell into when I was creating art, and I turned my attention to trying to understand that. To that end, I began working with one of the pioneers of the Human Potential Movement, Claudio Naranjo, MD, during those years, and that has led to decades of inner work. I am one of the principal teachers of the Diamond Approach, and have published two books on inner work-The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram and The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues.

While I never wanted to rely on my artwork to earn a living as I felt that it would lose its magic for me, it has been a companion throughout this journey. I love to show on paper and canvas the beauty that I see in the world around me, a beauty that is the embodiment of our deepest nature. In recent years, I've become more and more interested in expressing the luminosity I perceive, and have been studying color along the lines of the Hensche-Hawthorne School, working with Camille Przewodek and Carole Gray-Weihman.
