Searle Gallery “I have a cinematic mind that doesn’t see arbitrary distinctions or boundaries between music (audio) and painting (visual) or writing (mental). But I do feel an impulsion to share what I hear, see, feel and think which I find so involving and inspiring.

The arts tend towards a universality that does not include ages, races or any material limitations.
