Why do you create what you create? Artists are often confronted with painting that which seems to sell and that which inspires them to pick up the brush and paint. When asked, why I paint, my response is that painting is my passion that has become addictive. My being becomes intimately entangled with the object of observation. A desire rises during the encounter to draw, paint or sculpt exploring all that I see. It is this energy that gives life to the creation.
