Thanks, Tim. This is one that I have to redo since the original was damaged (hanging in my parents house now). This image pretty much sums up what a lot of people are feeling right now.

Hi Alex,
It's good to have friends in your part of the world. I hope you're staying cool. My wife's mother and grandmother are in Kiev right now, boiling alive. I like your work. Great freedom and diversity of expression. Keep it up!…

- About my artwork
- My work is born out of a need to articulate for myself the terrain of my own passage through mortality and to explore the events and implications of man's spiritual existence and journey- that which forms deep currents flowing beneath the observable world. The symbolic internal worlds and environments of my paintings seem at times more real to me than my physical environment because they are evidence to me of what is felt most acutely. The paintings then become objects of devotion- personal evidence of a process that is verbally inexpressible. My work has evolved into a meditation on themes of searching, passage, and purification through these internal wilderness places- a landscape where events and objects assume multi-layered symbolic significance and actions become ceremonial in nature.
- Artists I like

Jill Margaret Armstrong said… - i looked again, and i see echoes of images in a series of charcoal drawings i've started, but i don't have many posted yet...i'm not engaged in the same spiritual quest that you are, and the objects in my drawings are deliberately largely unrecognizable, but there is a similar desire to represent these objects or places in a dramatic, ethereal, almost dreamlike environment, presenting them as iconic and monumental, perhaps holy...i understand this desire very well, though, unlike you, for me it comes from an uncultivated, unschooled, raw sort of spirituality...i think that looking at your work is helping me to better understand my own, even though you are light years beyond me......

- your work really does reveal an intense engagement with exploration of the meaning of spirit and faith, respect for the forces of nature, and a gorgeous blending of the beautiful and the sublime...i'm so glad i found your work...!
