Artist Statement:
. . .
Using an old word with new meaning, I call my art style FLUIDISM.
Fluidism is fluid flow art. Fluidism is fluid dynamic art. Fluidism is the process of making images in liquid pools, puddles, thin films, trickles, drops or any other containment of liquid where fluid dynamic patterns are the focus.
As I practice fluidism today, I experiment in a netherworld between two media - painting and photography. In simple terms, this means I photograph paintings that cannot exist.
I use sunlight to illuminate very small pools or thin films of various real liquid mixtures. I manipulate the liquid's chemical composition, color, thickness and flow rate. Simultaneously, I chase the sun's path and the liquid's constantly-changing form with a camera to frame and capture fleeting, one-time-only designs.
Nature has an incredible bag of visual tricks to perform in liquids. I'm absolutely obsessed with these. No human intention ever could produce the exact complex, organic intricacies that I observe close-up. These are paintings of the universe BY the universe, where I am a scribe....

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Artworkds NEVER are a product of decision making. They are products of a compulsion to explore and discover what works.
Being an artist is an inborn calling, NOT something you are called. Everybody is an artist, to some degree. The medium is life itself, and you start working it while still in the whomb.
I have no favorite artist or movement. Good design is good design, no matter what the style. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I probably am still best known for my energetic and original dance fitness classes of the 1980's and '90's, which I taught for eighteen years under names like 'RX-6', 'Cardiofusion', 'Caribe', 'Trance' and 'Tribe Vibe'.
I spent a great deal of time involved with health, dance and human performance. My interest in teaching these subjects eventually diminished, given an ever failing public perception of health as a goal instead of a constantly-practiced lifestyle.
I continue to practice principles of health on my own, including flexibility, core strengthening and good nutrition. My major creative efforts, however, have shifted to revolve around visual art.
I have infused an old word, 'fluidism', with a new meaning, which I apply to my own art style, as well as to other people's art styles that focus on real fluid patterns. |
