Thanks for your comments. I try very hard to express what it is I am doing in my art. It is hard to do so when one is going to a place beyond words."Words are only the finger pointing at the moon."

Hi Steve, I love your writings...you put into words so much of what I feel with art...at best I get lost in the process and am always humbled by the feeling sense of the imagery that comes when the 'ego is disengaged..inspiring visit...your site is honest and interesting..thanks for the mess....b.

On an average I spend 800 hours to create a Dream Matter piece. It is a nice place to be as long as I do not start judgement on the piece. I have to trust what comes out onto the paper. There is no planning.I just start. Hours into it I may question if I should keep going.This point in the process can be difficult, I have to let go of my thoughts and trust.

Hello again Steve. I think, "A spontaneous style expressing the flowing currents of reality and the subconscious", is a great description for your work. You must spend hours within each piece. I imagine it is a great place to be. Keep creating! ~Marianne
