Muse from Greek Mousa 1 : any of the nine sister goddesses in Greek mythology presiding over the arts. 2 : a source of inspiration; especially : a guiding genius

Being an artist is central to my identity these days. My art is about self-discovery, but also about having fun.

The psyche doesn't seem to be directly knowable - it is in large part hidden. I liken the process to trying to understand the wind - we know about it from it's effects. We see the leaves moving on the trees, or we feel the air moving on our skin, but we cannot see the wind. I try to allow my creative impulses to work their way out of me and to shape my environment with as little interference as possible from my conscious mind. Often I am astounded by what emerges.

I like working in three dimensions and have made some assemblage sculpture but I've mostly been painting with acrylics lately. A few years back I wrote a computer program to create fractal patterns and as these are in electronic form already they are the first to appear here. I've also begun to use Photoshop to create abstract images.
