"The National Geographic of October 2002 shows a picture of a recently restored hallway in the Egyptian pyramids inscribed with magic spells, recipes and advice. Even though I cannot read them, the symbols have a strong impact. The repetitive rhythm of shapes breathe a mysterious calm, once intended to welcome and advise weary visitors on their way to the next world. I was intrigued by the power of these symbols and their reach across centuries and languages. They seem to speak from and to a sixth sense. I was struck by their similarity in intention to the series of paintings I had recently embarked upon.

The activity of wishing well to others through imagery fascinates me. I sense that concentrated thinking and meditation, called prayer in some cultures, transcends through all materials and through all ages. My paintings are about consciousness and perception, usually in reference to places and situations I have been. Painting allows my subconscious perceptions to register graphically, and allows the work to jump our divide. I have come to see painting as a dissolution of our divide and a developing solution to the collective unconscious."
