Hoopla Painting

I am an American artist living in the New York area. Even as a child, I reveled in the beauty of nature. As an adult, I realize that my love of beauty has inspired my life. You can view more of my work and links to my other sites at me, the activity of creating art is an affirmation of life, a consciously nurtured jubilation in the miracle of form at all levels of the universe. Experiencing "the grand mystery" creates a feeling of elation based on the complex web of life on our planet.Being involved in creative process has helped me to say "yes" to life. As a human being, I feel all the ageless and timeless doubts of the human condition. But there's one thing I know for certain: doing art lifts me above doubt and despair and gives me indescribable joy. In my own creativity and in other's works, as well, I feel I see glimpses of something wonderful: it's what I like to think of as "the infinite potential of the universe." It manifests in all of us, especially when we create.Everything seems more "real" to me when I view it through the lens of a camera. Likewise, when I paint I feel pure joy.
