My philosophy is based on the self-transformation that is attained through the creative process of making art. I think of it as "pushing the envelope" - to transcend the experience of art into a complex vocabulary of skills and techniques...then to achieve the ability to create a remarkable object...and, finally, that this creation will have a significant impact on humanity.

The contribution to be made by this achievement lies in the continued process of creating an object with a greater vision each time. I refer to the process as an aesthetic conclusion. It is discovered with every sequential development of a new idea. The challenge is that each idea is more dynamic than the proceeding one.

I have come to the forgone conclusion that art is a multi-dimensional formation of complex relationships and that, ultimately, this produces an object. In fact, the value of the object lies in its ability to be something unique and remarkable as an object.

Pythagoras is believed to have coined the words "philosophy" (love of wisdom) and "mathematics" (that which is learned). I believe that as words define those things that are most important to our definition of self, art is the translation of those same but most important definitions... The complex equation that we refer to as art is still governed by its definition as Webster's Dictionary explains it: "skill acquired by experience or study; the use of skill and imagination in the production of things of beauty." It refers to an artist as one who creates things of beauty. I believe that art must be an inspired creation of those things that have a great purpose and genuine beauty, and because these things are not only physical but also spiritual and intellectual, we must qualify whether these things do in fact reflect that greatness. To ask this fundamental question, "what is the meaning and the purpose" of art? It is precisely the issue as it defines who we are as a civilization and how we fundamentally define ourselves as individuals. It may be just a circular evolution of thought, but I truly believe that the answer is revealed by the artist's ability to know the way to what we may consider as that aesthetic conclusion.
