What motivates me to paint is a need to express my connection to the “bigger picture” of life beyond the physical world. I access this through contemplating the vastness of my being. When I contemplate my Soul, I realize that “I” am so much more than the me living this life. That realization feels so expansive and wondrous.
I keep a visual diary, each morning I choose colors from my pastel kit and create a spontaneous image from accessing what I’m feeling at the moment. Sometimes these images become paintings. I also get visions in my inner eye that flash like moments of clarity on a speeding train. Dreams also inform my art. I want to bring the inner landscapes of energy that I see out into the world in my oil paintings and pastel drawings. Sometimes the paintings come out looking like what I see. Other times, they take on a life of their own and I use my intuition in applying color and shape. I am a translator, bringing the image out from another world or dimension and it’s like the painting is painting itself through me.
I have recently been working with pastels and creating representational imagery as I delve more deeply into this medium.
I invite people to view my art with their hearts, opening their senses to the language of feeling and inner knowing
