Artist Statement

Reflection, meditation, differing perspective, or altered reality characterize the function of a personal dream space. It is a place across the divide from the mundane – where dreams and ideas flow freely from the uninhibited mind. Whether this space is physically isolated, solace at the mountain top, or mentally isolated,  a threshold must be traversed. Each person has his/her own preferred space where the mist of routine lifts and lucid thoughts resign.
