	One last kiss before you die, 1997, oil on canvas, 40"x50"

Some artists are able to express themselves beyond their visual creations via lectures or printed articles. I'm not one of them. My motives change too often. I am seduced and beckoned, consciously and unconsciously, by everything. My work represents experiences I can't hope to explain. I share only the finished image.
