Description: These works seek balance and beauty. I use the armchair not only to represent the seat of the soul, but the center of being itself… the hearth where the home fires glow. Matisse’s, who influenced me very much, see’s the function of art as providing a place of balance and rest from physical fatigue like a good armchair.  That said life is so unexpected … like a Wind Chime that rings in the energetic flow of being, allowing each of us his own music.
