| Introduction | “Painting has become a healing practice for me. Translating abstract concepts, along with the art making process itself, challenge me to confront myself, to provoke increased self awareness, and nurture my soul. Further, the focus involved keeps me grounded in the present. Here, I can experience moments of non judgment, compassion, and the reassuring sense that I’m connected with all things. Conceptually, while my artwork has a spiritual bent, visually I’m motivated to express this mostly in non representational ways. Rarely absolute about composition when starting, I do begin each piece with a sense of color palette and an idea about what I want to convey. Then, I get lost in creation mode, where I’ll paint intuitively. Throughout the technical steps, I continue to focus on gut inklings and visualization to guide me further. When things feel like they don’t work, I change direction, reflect, or stop for a break, then later revisit with a fresh mindset. While I play around with ethereal and atmospheric stylings, I also like to shake things up by using elements of surprise, such as contrary imagery, unexpected color twists, or scratchy textures for visual impact.” |
