The Shaman, in tribal societies, was the one who went into the canyon, the metaphorical journey, and brought back the myths so that the tribe could cope with the harsh realities of life. In our society the artist is the shaman. My heroic path! My Amazing Success Story has led me into the canyon and I bring to you the message in the form of oil and light! The message is one of hope and beauty. My journey provides my collectors with Paintings that will enhance their lives. This is the Power of Painting!
