Quotes for Artists

Temple Roof, edition of 15

"Artists draw your magazine covers, write your advertisements, hash out rag-time for your theatres. By the great commercializing of printing you've found a harmless, polite occupation for every genius who might have carved his own niche. But beware the artist who's an intellectual also. The artist who doesn't fit - the Rousseau, the Tolstoy, the Samuel Butler, the Amory Blaine ---"

F. Scott Fitzgerald from This Side of Paradise

Castle Reflection

Castle Reflection, edition of 15

The images from the Kyoto in its Season exhibition were inspired by haiku. I would read and write haiku during my travels in Japan and those readings helped to form the aesthetic of the work. While the series was on display at Rolly-Michaux Gallery a special haiku reading was done by the Boston Haiku Society. Haiku poet Kenneth Elba Carrier read several of his poems and also created a haiku for the image Castle Reflection:
