Without quite knowing why, I’d kept an eye on this young artist for years. Then, on a visit to the Bay Area, I felt the time had come to ask him for an interview. His response to my inquiry about what drew him so deeply into art making is telling: “Art evokes life’s great pursuits - religion and the human experience, right? To be completely present in this longer, energetic lineage of what’s channeled through us, and which goes on beyond us as we leave this world. We’re connected to the present moment, and to the ripples of the larger world beyond us that are eternal.” It’s a rare conversation.
