Statement From The Artist

I come to the world of art with a degree of humility tinged by a childlike sense of complete confidence in my own vision.  In this regard, I feel a duty to explore without fear. 

If anything I say resonates with visitors to this site, it may be that a painting must be experienced in person to have its full effect. In a world of digital images, fast social-media sharing, and synthetic experience, one must place eyes on the canvas in person to connect fully with work that is uniquely produced for organic visual consumption.

I paint because the images beg to be born. I write because I can't not write. Of this world of creative impulse I am hopelessly afflicted, like a man set free in a prison without boundaries, confined only by limitless possibilities.

We are imperfect caretakers of this perfect gift, that in turn brings us to the brink of perfect understanding. 

Dan Jenkins

RAIN

Inside, away from you

And the wetness

You bring

I hear nevertheless

Your dance upon the pain

Unceasing droplets 


As if delivered in perfect

Time to every parched thought

Every dry desire posing
