Rally to the Cause! Independent Art to Inspire, Challenge, and Endure.

Art has always been more than entertainment. From ancient cave-paintings and architecture to modern digital images and holograms, art is a fundamental mode of human communication, and a primal facet of human nature. It has the power to preserve and pass along ideas, evoke emotion and contemplation, and connect people across generations and across cultures.

I am an independent artist devoted to the creation of original works. Those thus far include music, poetry, visual art, and philosophical literature. Each project is an attempt to explore truth, beauty, and the human experience through various creative forms.

Some artists over the ages have been commissioned by kings, governments, and wealthy financiers –a level of acknowledgement we all seek and strive toward. Others do it because they have no other choice; they are simply driven, compelled, urged by an inner flame of passion that cannot be quelled until the oft illusive, inexplicable creative feeling is expressed, the work completed, the mystery explored.

Every piece I create is made ever more purposeful and possible by the support of people who believe in the substance of the artistic endeavor, who appreciate the energy and effects of expression, and have conviction that independent voices deserve to be heard.

Your support helps in:

• Recording, producing, and mastering original music
• Publishing collections of poetry
• Creating and publishing illustrations, photography, and other forms of visual art
• Professional editing, design, and printing
• Studio equipment and production tools
• Website maintenance
• Music videos and other creative visual projects
• Live performances and artistic collaborations

If my work has moved you, inspired you, provoked you to question, consider, or has challenged your thinking, or simply brought a moment of beauty into your day, I invite you to become and continue being a part of this journey.

There are many ways you can show support:

• Follow my work and stay connected.
• Like and Subscribe.
• Leave comments, reviews, and recommendations.
• Share my work with other appreciators.
• Make a donation of any amount.

Every contribution –whether in voicing your thoughts and comments, posing a question, donations and other financial contributions, or simply sharing a piece that you find interesting, fun, or compelling –is greatly appreciated, and helps make future creations possible. Every dollar, every like and subscription, every share and repost, goes a long way in seeing this endeavor to greater success, and in the generation of more original works.

Thank you for your time, attention, and for believing that Art, in its numerous forms and expressions, matters.

I look forward to sharing many, many more delighting, inspiring, and heartfelt works.
