A LANGUAGE MORE POWERFUL THAN WORDS
From an extremely young age I had an intrinsic response and relation to the arts. As a child I can remember looking at my surroundings with a keen and sensitive eye. My eyes were the camera lens to the world around me; editing scenes in front of me like a movie.
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Photography which helped sharpen my senses to the outside world. I’ve created three-dimensional work in clay and worked with watercolors. At present I am working with acrylic paint on both paper and canvas.
My current series ‘A LANGUAGE MORE POWERFUL THAN WORDS” is inspired by the mystery of inner expression. Painting allows me to unleash a sense of individual freedom. This process is full of vitality, life force and energy because I am able to paint dangerously without fear. There is no right or wrong in art. I strive to be out of the box so my paintings evoke playfulness and unique creativity. Each stroke on the canvas is a unique expression unto itself. Initially I am inspired through music and sounds set the pace and flow of the creation process. I then inhabit the meditative state that allows me to be conscious and aware. I start mixing colors that speak to me while pouring them onto the canvas. Through the paint my heart and soul speak out, like words to a song. The energy released by this process dances through the canvas to create the movement that witnessed by the viewer.
Through my abstract expressionism one can observe the connection between a hidden message, organic shapes and vibrant colors on the canvas. Each piece has an energy and movement similar to the melody of a song. There is a mood to each piece and an eminent sense of passion that is born onto the canvas .Each piece has its own message like a poem to a writer or the beat of a song to a dancer. The words on the canvas help set the mood for the painting. I move back and forth between the words and the abstract shapes and colors in front of me. This creates an aesthetic dialogue in my mind and in turn to the viewer. The entire experience of painting is a stream of subconscious thought. Whatever lies beneath comes upon the canvas to the surface.
Each painting is an individual process; it evolves when numerous layers of paint and marks come into juxtaposition. When the colors and drawings come into balance I consider the painting complete. This is a crucial part of the painting: It is my intention that the canvas speak to the viewer to create a sense of wonder and mystery- in a positive way.
Panta rhea –all things flow… All the paintings are given inspirational and positive names:
Let-go, truth, mystery, what lies beneath, spirit, intention, vibrations, unity , peace, freedom, love, prosperity ,breathe ,details ,courage, Dance I,II,III
My paintings are currently shown in galleries in California, Florida, and Santa Fe and internationally on the web.
