Artist's Statements

Thank you James Warwick Jones.

Yesterday afternoon I and a number of other artist's in the 'Afterlife' exhibition at the Charles Taylor Art Center (where Jim is Gallery Director) came together to share insights and information about our creative process regarding 'Day of the Dead' http://www.dia-de-los-muertos.com/ and our own personal brush with death and/or afterlife.

It was a rich and invigorating three hours and it has me jazzed in a whole new way regarding the bridge between images and words.
