There are times when I have to make art in order to be able to make other art.  Parfois, je crée une œuvre afin de faire d’autres œuvres.

acrylic painting of a little boy


Sometimes the only way to really learn something is to jump in with both feet, and one little part of this little painting shows how true that is.  Parfois, on ne peut pas apprendre une chose sans y sauter à pieds joints, et une petite partie de ce petit tableau en est la preuve.

drawing of a woman


I’ve never been much for meditation.  In fact, it’s when I try to tell my brain to be quiet that the real noise begins.  That said, I do know how to find peace regularly.  Je ne médite pas.  En fait, c’est quand j’essaie de calmer mon esprit que le bruit commence sérieusement.  Ceci dit, je sais comment trouver une certaine tranquilité régulièrement.
