Life got me down.
Dark times for many years.
Then ART ! I began to draw.
Colour and creation .
Challenge and reward.
I fell in love --- with art .
and now (after a scratchy start )
it is a life joy .
The other world you see on
paper is the reflection of the
inner artist, who is also my inner
child.
Art has brought grace to my life by
revealing hidden dimensions of the true
self .
These dimensions are as essential to me
as the outer world and all its people
and
allows me to see what is really going on
inside .
I ask you, in the moment , to consider
your
own reality even as you contemplate
these
works from "the other side "
of my being .
