Artist's Statement


Art by Archen: Original, emotional, descriptive art 

Speak to any artist for any length of time and you begin to understand that the world looks different through our eyes. In a flash, the colors of waves become mesmerizing and a sprig of mint becomes a masterpiece. More importantly, the connections between the waves, the mint and you as a piece of the universe suddenly spring into focus. My art is my expression of belief, the lessons I have learned.

On Portraiture:

Through portraits I strive to capture the spirit of a subject's persona, expressing the magic of stepping into another place and time.

Paintings should capture a moment in time. They should take you somewhere else and show you something you haven't seen before. Portraits should  not only show you what a person looks like, they should show you a piece of who a person is.

Beauty in all its forms, both physical and spiritual, inhabit our lives whether we realize this or not. May you see and understand more through my work.
