| Introduction | Secrets of light and of dark. Manifestations of natural phenomena. Digital images of nebulae. Ancestral stories and myths. Dialogues of spiritual quests. Universal archetypes. Textural Components. And the concept of Wabi-Sabi. All influence the lyrical abstract projections of my truth. Early in the painting process, a metaphor arises, providing the foundation that supports the piece until compositional integrity is achieved. In addition to acrylic paint and mediums, I often use metallics and interference to push the drama of light and dark further, and random objects find their way into the composition to push the story further. |
| Interests | Living my truth and in the creative spirit. Remaining curious and playful. And still learning how to be a good parent, grandparent, friend, colleague, student, teacher, crone... |
| Favorite music | AeTopus music--created by Bryan Tewell Hughes. His music's depth, complexity, rhythms inspire my painting and allow me to get into the creative flow. |
