The will to make art is the will to affirm life, to express our unique beauty and truth by devotional labor...If the mission of art involves opening the eye of the heart so spirit can be seen and felt, this goal can only be reached when both artist and viewer observe art as a covenant.

Art that feeds the soul is a visionary covenant among Spirit, artist, and audience. The artist is responsible for outwardly manifesting the inwardly perceived transcendental source.

By contemplative absoption in the artist's vision,viewers place themselves in the mind of the artist at the moment of inspiration. Viewers receive the same transmission and enter the covenant relationship.

A viewer does not worship a two-dimensional image but the spiritual source the image mirrors
