“I think extravagance in your life takes energy from the possible extravagances of your mind.” Kay Ryan, the 16th U.S. Poet Laureate
As an artist I don’t go many places. My life revolves around my work and my internal musings. If it wasn’t for the gym I think I could go days, maybe even weeks, without the company of others. Since moving to Pleasanton I joined a local gym. Almost on a daily basis I have felt joy there. I think during a time when the internet allows us to live such separate lives having a physical outlet, one supported by like-minded people, is essential.
While I look for beauty and mystery in nature, when I take portraits, I look for the same mysterious connection¬¬the emotions often hidden beneath the surface, something I sense in a person, or the sheer expressions of joy. I invite you to look at my portraits. These are some of the wonderful people I’ve met at Club Sport.
