Aswe dream, our subconscious mind borrows images
from real experiences. When an artist paints, he chan-
nels his dreams to flow back into reality through his
brushand become aworkofart.Thistransferispartof
a creative process that an artist must recognize, re-
spect, and utilize.
When I dream, I dream of nature. I try to paint na-
ture as I dream it. Wheneach painting is born, another
dreamcomestrue. I inviteyou, my fellow dreamers, to
share my dreams—and I dedicate this book to you.
