Collection 1
Extravagant marks of somber and brilliant colors reach across my canvas, capturing motion. Push and pull tones imitate the moving terrain of contemplation and imagination. In my abstractions, landscapes, and portraits, I symbolize the aspects and stories of the soul. I render images of division and unity, between intellect and passion. I also find that sometimes my work can be incomprehensible or “unknowable,” yet familiar, as life’s biggest questions and hurts only have ineffable answers. Through expressive drawing and painting, I dwell on the visceral and supernatural, and our mortal connection to it.9. Let it Move Through
Acrylic on Canvas 20”x20”
Often the hardest part of any journey for me is the beginning. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad; if chose it or if it was chosen for me. I conjure up so many internalized opinions and ideas of how to start well that I forget to start at all. Needing to change is hard for me to accept.
But something special happens when I finally let it move through me. Hope is renewed for me. Like learning something new about an old friend, hope is full of surprises.
