"Indian Dancer"

 The American Indian perspective of looking at life as an inseparable whole and the reverence they give to nature has always range true to the core of my being. God is not a deity apart from man but rather mankind is an integral part of God each a reflection of the other. I am part Indian (Navaho) and I feel proud to identify with my Indian family. Although I walk outside my families house I know in my heart I will return to that world with greater knowing and depth. A friend gave me the name "man who walks from within the mountain" Someday soon I will return to my people to share what I have learned on my journey through this life.   Many of my painting are inspired by the love of my indian family and I cherish our respect of life.

"Olympus"

Olympus 2027 is more than a painting it is also a story of the future as the artist imagination interact with a vision of what may be. Actor in video scene is Islean (ill-ee-ann) Kirker (actor) & the artists son. CD produced by the artist using Adobe Premier, Sound Edit, Photoshop and Macromedia Director. Olympus is an artist talking about art and her work with her boyfriend, played by Islean. Script & direction by Arty. As the year 2000 comes to change mans perceptions, so will new art mediums within the art world. This is a multimedia production.

One day as I leaving the Renaissance Pleasure Fair in Ontario Ca, I passed by a fair maiden with mysterious dark eyes. She stopped but a Moment to pose for my camera. In the blink if an eye she disappeared and so did the film from that day. After some time I found the film and even forgot about the event, but again the Flower Maiden appeared with her mysterious dark eyes. If by chance you may know who she might be please let her know I have some prints to give to her. In appreciation of of a challenging painting.

Meditation has been a major part of my life for the past 25 years it is the door to the reality of a higher way of living and a way of keeping centered throughout any number of trials. As above so below. We create our reality through our thoughts. All things manifested are a product of desire and thought. What you see on these pages including the words are a product of my thoughts. I become what I think. What we bring into this world is colored by our thoughts, emotions and ability to manifest through our creative power. In turn our manifestations create our Karma.

"Balerina"

This is my favorite piece ever, every line and stroke happened concisely and exactly as I desired, with speed and accuracy of the passion every artist should know at one point in his career. She was a beautiful young ballerina.

"Initiation"

"Initiation", is about what I consider to be our real self "The Higher Self" The source of ones soul that is constant and true. As we chose to leave (incarnate) the lower self (ego self ) dwells in the world of form, we embody part of our soul into a form, (a form of many desires and the I or ego) identifies with it, as self, that self identification is our ego. As we identify ourselves with the form it reflects into the 3D world in which we create our lives. Thus our mind creates our desires and our desires create our thoughts and affairs which consume our waking being, Thus these thoughts creates our world and karma.

Through meditation once again we can connect to that higher self that is not of form but evolved spirit and embodies divine love into our lives and the lives of others. This is the meaning of self initiation. It is a conscious choice to know our higher self and work on bringing that part into (the dweller within). As it evolves we identify less with self and more with the soul as a whole. That whole being, is an identification with humanity as self. "I am the one and the many." At this point we are initiated into the spirit of higher self. That self now being identified with and as humanity.

Though perfection seem almost impossible to master we can certainly work to improve our lives and those of others. Mastery comes through practice. Practice is the Art of self discipline.
