Artist Statement
“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.
The late writer and mythologist Joseph Campbell said, ‘Making the inner meet the outer is the function of the artist.’ 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 vast, innate oneness. The practice of meditation and the love of nature and color informs my process.
My intention is that the work will speak to the viewer on a profound, soul level—stirring curiosity and instilling joy.”
