Artist Statement
My artwork is intuitively guided. Starting from a place of meditative calm, I set a focus, ask a question, or hold a feeling. The shapes and colors start to flow, and I never know where each journey will lead. I love how the vibrance and flow of acrylics allow the energy of the paintings to speak straight to the heart.
I have travelled to and lived near achingly beautiful landscapes: deserts, rainforests, oceans, volcanic rocks, mountains, pine forests. Every time I step into any one of those natural spaces, my heart fills with a calm feeling that all is well. I connect to the depths of water, the movement of wind, the endearingly whimsical shapes of plants when you look at them close-up, the wise energy of trees, the warmth of sunlight. This spiritual healing energy of nature inspires my work, as the lessons of nature teach us about the sacred wisdom within ourselves.
