Interpreting my own reality ...

I am a writer, an artist and an amateur photographer. But which one dominates? That's a problem for me. They are all important in my life.

For one thing, all of them also reflect some aspect of where I am in my life.

Here are some of my paintings through the years along with two quotes about art that express how I feel about it.

I've never forced myself to be restricted by a particular "style". That seems so limiting to me.

It is the same with my writing. And my photography. I create each individual piece on its own, and let it tell me how it wants to be interpreted.

Quotes:

The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world. ~André Malraux

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand
