As a child, becoming an artist was like a fairytale. However, this fairytale has come real for me and this dream serves to guide my life. My past contains innumerable stories that have allowed me to smile and cry. Throughout life, as I confronted insurmountable obstacles, such as those represented by huge mountains or intimidating storms, I advanced like a dreary, tired person trudging through a huge barrier ever creeping toward my goals. The obstacles appeared daunting at times. Always, I reflect on my past and myself when I am confronted with conflict…

"How long have I been taking photographs? I got my first camera at age 5, an old polaroid, and have been talking pictures ever since. There wasn't a point where I decided I was going to try and become a professional photographer, I'm still not there. I never made it past beginning photography class, although I took it three times. So I don't really have any kind of formal training. Everything I know about photography I've had to figure out the hard way, by taking a lot of photographs and making a lot of mistakes. It was in high school that I started dragging my camera where ever I went. So maybe 14 - 15 years? or 25 years? I don't know."

Ho Baron Sculpture
Ho Baron is a visionary sculptor who’s bronze works are surreal, ornate and cosmic. He models his clay into intricate motifs of miniature caricatures on large figurative forms, and his resulting representational imagery and whimsical style is satirical and fantastic. Somehow primal and naïve, his sculptures are fluid and sophisticated, visually intriguing and tactile; his anthropomorphic creations are fascinating, highly imaginative icons.

“My goal as a painter is to create visual images that communicate the mystery and transient beauty of our planet. I rely on visual memory, dreams, and feelings for these images of landscape, and natural organic form which are often based in “reality” but are imaginary to the degree that I only seek to capture a feeling about the subject whether it is still life or landscape, and communicate it to the viewer. My work is representational to the degree that it is based on nature. I paint what I feel about what I see with color and texture as structural design elements. I often refer to my still life paintings as “Still Scapes” due to my natural inclination to include what I think of as earth elements into my work....

"As an impressionistic abstract artist who works within the guidelines of fine design, I strive to create artistic magic. When it all comes together, abstraction is combined with impressionistic images and the painting takes on a unique and wonderful life of its own. Above and beyond the structured design and mechanical planning, one must understand that when the brush touches the canvas, energy is transmitted onto the surface and the artist becomes a conduit from the unseen to the seen. Words, sights or sounds initiate the inspirational journey of a painting. Embedded beneath the layers of paint, the energy of the inspiration awaits for the viewer to make a connection. At that point when the energy from the painting is received by the viewer, the painting is finished and the work of the artist is complete. The painting has not only been seen but felt."
