The Paths of Art & Music
My interest in music has its genesis in my youth
when I sang in my church choir and later in
my high school concert choir.
I never did learn to play an instrument. Yet with
the aid of my Macintosh, I am an
arranger/composer of commercial musical
compositions.
I discovered my latent artistic talent in January
1997. It was a surprise to me in many ways…

Expressions from Art, Part 1
In the first few years of my digital art creations, I
hadn’t yet reached that inner-core of
inspiration.
My art was more simple then, less emotional
input, more exploration of the software than
the essence of my heart, mind, and soul.
That began to change in the year 2000 when
my mother passed away.

Expressions from Art, Part 2
I began to experience the merging of emotional
grief with a need to convey those feelings
without words. In such circumstances, words
don’t exist to express oneself properly.
Towards the end of 2000, a dramatic lifechanging event touched me deeply.
From that point onward, my art became a
conduit of humanity, for me, for many others.

Expressions from Music
As a digital arranger/composer, my music
creations provide one more way to
communicate what I feel.
Some of my tunes are more intense than
others. Some were created based on the
inspiration of others I know as best friends or
soul mates.
I offer my music to the world as mp3’s without
charge from my web site, Time Out Of Mind.

Convergence
I’ve reached a point in my life where the
expression of my life experiences converge
through my art, music, and writing.
Those individual talents were once
unrecognized within me. One by one, an
inner-calling revealed and awakened them.
Now those individual elements are joined.
Words, digital designs, and, sequences of
notes form a singularity within my Spirit.
