Artist Comment (on Input, Collecting and Release) ...one morning, in the late 80’s, I had a very strong feeling. A feeling so good, I could not wait to get into the studio.

The day before, I set up a glass jar and a seashell behind it. The sun was shining through the window. The jar and the shell, and finally saw the light both ways, in the objects, and in my mind. I knew there was not much time for the sun to move – and changing the light and colors of the objects. I grabbed a small canvas board, and started painting furiously, sitting on the floor. When I was finished, I looked at it, and called it “Input, Collecting, and Release”.

A few days later, I thought about it. What a fitting title it is, because it is everything….teaching, creating, and giving. From that time on, the ideas for paintings came so fast, I could not keep up with it.
