Art is a gesture, part of our language, an essential element of communication. It is emotion manifested and shared between the artist and another. Art transforms the vibration of thought and emotion into a visual sensory experience. For me, this resonance is exquisite and amazing. The concept of vibration being the foundation of all things defines how I view the world around me, and my definition of love and beauty. There is great love here for you.
Each painting begins with a concept inspired by a life experience followed by a selection of colors I find compelling. Generally, I start with a short meditation followed by an experiment on a small canvas. Other times, I can see a whole coherent theme and head right for the larger canvas. I take a few deep breaths and jump in! That first swipe with a palette knife loaded with paint is exhilarating!
At times, the finished piece represents my interpretation. Other times, the painting evolves and morphs into something entirely unrelated to the original impulse. It is during these times of pure streaming consciousness that my best art takes form.
I work exclusively in oils for the time being. They seem richer somehow and more versatile, providing a tactile essence I find responsive and rewarding. Or it could have something to do with my love of the smell of linseed oil and turpentine (the old toxic stuff) and mineral based pigments. Neutral base layers are typically applied directly from tube to canvas and then loosely blended with other hues into a general pattern. From there, I add layer upon layer of mostly transparent pigments creating depth while flushing out design elements. My favorite palette knife, while small in size, becomes an extension of my consciousness stream, and therefore quite mighty in spirit. The original concept evolves and grows with each layer, at times taking on a life of its own.
My fascination with water, and how it transforms matter and light, is evident in most of my work, as is my intrigue with all things celestial. My approach involves experimenting with the interplay between depth and reflection, matter and light. My work reflects the vibrational interpretation of nature, always nurturing even in cycles of renewal, as I discover it, or it discovers me.
