The journey is a spiritual one.
My paintings and sculptural pieces are biomorphic, have cosmic references, exchange foundations and leavings, play with residue.
Layering with opacity, with translucent glazes, collaging elements – these are “etheric” snapshots, explore shifting densities of light, particles, cellular motifs, grids, street findings, the geological, stars, and botanical melody.
As a writer, my visual art is a scribe’s narrative-by-hand, the configuration of forms as letters or utterances. The images are organic and metaphysical, pictorial story-telling, gathered fragments of the handmade, machine made, and natural objects and substances.
As an art therapist, healing forums in clinical and educational settings have been tableaux for transformation.
These variations are luminous frames in timelines wherein individual potential is actualized again and again. Art as message.
There is tremendous joy in paying attention to the outer world and its showy variations, and the matchless thrill of navigating the internal landscape. Artist as messenger.
There is an ever-changing transfer in all that fluctuates.
One’s discoveries are connections to pre-existing laws and truths, infinite coloration and pattern, the dream-within-the-dream realm.
Hope generates beauty and recognizes its pervasive presence. As beauty encapsulates fearlessness, enchantment is the sacred gift called art.
