Beacons are signals – guides or warnings – that help us navigate the physical world. The beacons in this series are tributes to the guides who influenced my development as an artist. My personal beacons are other artists, musicians, directors and writers. Each has made me stop and ponder their contribution to the human dialog. Some have stopped me dead in my tracks and made me say “wow”; others have had a more subtle influence. I’m inspired by their creativity, wit and intellect. In some way this series is a thank you to them. I owe them a great deal of gratitude for guiding the way. In creating these small tributes to the beacons that have inspired me, I hope in turn to inspire others. An inspiration contagion, if you will. We all need help navigating this world. These beacons help keep me on course.
