the world behind the world

Every creation story has its own "in the beginning..." with, perhaps, mythical or magical archetypes to instruct, illuminate and motivate human beings. The telling reaches something primal within us.

As one who has always felt the outer "real world" at odds with the inner life, these paintings are my own tales of goddesses, gods, angels, heroines and heroes existing inside each one of us. We are more than what the world says we are.
