Artist Statement

The following is part of the Statement I wrote while painting in contemplation of my latest exhibition:
   
I  frequently ask myself  why I make art when it seems that the world is already much too full of things?  In my tortured moments, I think that I am making more clutter for our cluttered world.    In my good moments, I believe art is as vital to the world as food and the world  needs more art and more artists in good and in bad times.  In my best moments I understand that I can't NOT make art and that the art I  make will be unlike the  art anyone else can make.  It is an honourable thing to do to bring beauty and truth to the world - even when the world seems not to embrace  it.
