Renowned
artist and Motion Picture director, Jean Negulesco,
my mentor and the man who opened the world of art to
me, once told me to develop all of my talents, that
each would be of use in my creative life. A man of enormous
talent and creativity, his fascinating life and career
is testament to his philosophy.
Following his advice, I have developed my extensive
creative talents – singing, dancing, acting, writing
and art. I have found that each inspires, supports and
influences the other, that each in their individual
part is an expression of the whole. Perhaps what is
unique about my work is the versatility of it. Or, perhaps,
being a quadruple Gemini has something to so with, as
well! I only know that it is something I must do in
order to be at peace and feel whole.
In the process of painting, or constructing a piece
of art, the expression is not the finished product,
but rather, the journey there. The desire, the doubt,
the discovery and impatience, the joy and wonderment
is what a work of art is all about. Traveling through
feelings, awareness and insights is the journey of
the creative soul. What I bring to the canvas is that
experience. What I strive to bring to the viewer is
the peace, love, enlightenment and healing that comes
from the journey.
