I aspire to create a compelling narrative targeted toward the viewer's inner child. This nonlinear pictorial story is suffused with a feeling of wonder and a magical reality, a dreamy twilight realm.  I want to suggest an implied story, one that is very personal- yet universal.  My desire is to inject a sense of wonder, imagination and hope into our darkening world. I plan to create an entire narrative where each viewer tells their own story,  and every picture stands on its own, yet works in conjunction with the others to compel and further the childlike warmth of such basics precepts as dancing, sharing, showing, caring and napping. Evoking classics like The Giving Tree, Where the Wild Things Are, Alice in Wonderland, and The Jungle book, I will meld storytelling in such a way as to take the viewer into a strange yet compelling and familiar world. 

Artists are not only mirrors of the world but also keepers of the soul, we must often work to not only editorialize current events and the sentiments of the masses, it is often our job to work as a counter balance.  In a world of greed we need to give more then ever, in a world of pain it is our chance to console, and in a world of doubt and uncertainty it is our job to evoke hope and to remind our selves of the beautiful basics of humanity<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/6/WEIW541089116401926.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foxglove Fairy]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=PKLL541089116402465</link><description><![CDATA[to learn about this painting please contact www.duirwaighgallery.com

What to do?
I think of this piece as my self portrait, it conveys both the gift and the curse of dragging an over sized imagination around and thrue life.
