Joy, Abundance, Surrender, Trust
What happens when life crashes over you like a giant wave? You let it.
When I paint, I open a direct channel between my spirit and the brush, inviting emotions below the level of awareness to take form in expressive color. I often layer soft watery blends in ways that remind me of the depths of the ocean--a physical and metaphorical place I return to for solace--perhaps remembering on a somatic level the safety of the womb. In surrendering to this process, forms emerge that reflect a sense of safety in the midst of uncertainty.
At other times, the art that emerges is an explosion of joy--leaning into pure abandon with vibrant delight. Unencumbered by the material ego that dominates the adult mind, I invite my audience to reconnect with their unjaded and free inner child. My art reflects the human experience as one of exploration, discovery, and evolution. In a world often ruled by profitability and practicality, I uphold wonder and play as our inherent birthright.
