"An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture" JEAN COCTEAU 
but what the hell,

I interpret life not necessarily as it is but as I see it. I may simplify or complicate it. I may change its colors, its values, its time of day or place. I create to satisfy, inform, and to entertain myself. My creations are most successful if they suggest a story, imply a question, or present a mystery.
