Mythology is essentially story telling to interpret the nature of the creation. My purpose in my painting is the pure expression of imagination to bring forth a curious world that inspires a new mythology. These images which convey a surreal sense of time, place, and atmosphere invite the viewer to find a story in their own imagination. Thus, only a short narrative passage occupies each work and not a lengthy exposition. The creation of the remainder of the story is left up to the person interacting with the piece.
In creation, specifically with animals, I find the infinite imagination of the Creator. Each creature has a mystical presence because their design comes from the mind of God. Being made in the image of God, I discover great joy in employing my own imagination in my painting as a catalyst for a new mythology and descriptive narrative.
