my evolution
For many years I was an actor. Sometime during one of those years, I realized that I had my own ideas and worlds I wanted to express so I expanded into playwriting. Soon after, it was a slippery slope into directing when I saw how other directors were interpreting my plays. And once I was directing, I then landed hard at the end of the slope in filmmaking, writing and directing movies.
One day I suddenly felt a mad desire to paint. I like that a painting doesn’t need to be seen, read, heard for any required stretch of time. One glance and there you have it, an instantaneous experience.
When people ask me which art form I care for the most, my answer is it’s all the same thing. Exploring the human condition and the stories that come out of that. In a strange way it’s all writing to me. Creating the characters and the story, bringing them to life, shaping them, editing them. I guess you could say I’m writing with paint.
