“Painting is my connection to the mystery. When I show up to the canvas, I am aware of a profound creative energy over which I have little control, but through which I am continually humbled and amazed as I let go and trust the process. I feel that I am co-creating with a force greater than myself.
My work could be described as a mirror to a deep inner reality, as well as a reflection of the expansive universal. The deeper within we go, the more we find our innate oneness. My daily meditation practice and love of nature and color informs my process.
I paint in vibrant color mostly using acrylics, either on stretched canvas or on board. Working layer upon layer, I allow the images and symbols to emerge organically and shift as they develop. It often feels like I’m receiving the image rather than creating it—like a midwife bringing new life into the world.
My intention is that the work will speak to the viewer on a profound, soul level—stirring curiosity and instilling joy.”
