MINDWORKS are drawing meditations... explorations into the unconscious mind. Leonardo daVinci urged us to look at clouds and stains on the walls and read into them figures, faces, animals and battlescenes. To paraphase Judith Cornell, there must be “...a sacred purpose of art...revealed through symbols, searching deeper for spiritual mysteries, bridging the visible and invisible worlds.” To be meaningful, a work of art must have an element of mystery. MINDWORKS are digital art, a process of discovery, art put to the service of Self-realization for the artist as well as the viewer.

At the core of this work are drawing meditations, images rising from the unconscious mind. Inspired by Carl Jung, (the psychology of the mind), Anton Ehrenzweig (the education of vision), Leonard da Vinci (on creativity), and by artists such as Hieronymous Bosch, William Blake, Odilon Redon, Max Ernst to name few, I have developed my own special kind of art which I call MINDWORKS.

The category for this work is Mixed-Media: they begin as drawing meditations, often with black stabilo pencil on mylar film. They are then scanned into the computer where they are modify in Photoshop. Next these images are transfered to canvas and/or Fuji Crystal Archive paper and are further enhanced with glazes and varnish. Currently I continue to explore the endless possibilites of imagery from the unconscious mind.
