In the Artist's own words:
Art has always been a means to express content that is unavailable in words. The capacity for human experience is so rich, deep, and varied. How can we explore all that we are capable of experiencing? Certainly no one art form can do that. Hopefully, my work reaches internal places the viewer may only know by feeling.
Maps have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. For years I’d wanted to
use them in my work, and, in this series, have found a place for them. The moon,
stars, and compasses, as well as maps, have been used to guide travelers for
centuries. By combining iconic imagery with nature and abstract elements, I try
to poetically express a kind of “wondering” that I hope the viewer will find
interesting and thought provoking. You, the viewer can bring your own riches of
metaphor to this work and by doing so, extend the work to your own personal
level.

ARE YOU A LOCAL ARTIST THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE FEATURED ON THIS WEBSITE?
We're currently (Feb 06) putting together a database of local artists....
IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE ONE OF THEM, JUST SEND US AN EMAIL TO:
sacramentosecondsaturday@yahoo.com
please include your name, a recent photo of both you and your work (please limit to two photos total) and a brief bio on yourself and a description of your work and where it can be viewed (if for a limited time, please provide dates). If you have a website we will also give you a free link.
Please note that this website is done on a volunteer basis (we usually only check the above email once a week) and we'll attempt to list everyone in as timely manner as possible!
We will list artists alphabetically by last name. Each month we will select one artist to be our featured artist for that month (must have a current show over that month's second Saturday).
