The most important part of painting, for me, is to share a story, to invite the viewer in, to stir their imagination, to invoke questions, to contemplate and enjoy. My work is based on personal experiences, dreams and inspirations that come from ordinary and expanded states of awareness. Many of my compositions develop from sitting in stillness with an image and or a feeling, in this seemingly quiet space, the potential painting is felt through my body and then formed in my mind’s eye and drawn as a sketch. The paintings become respected teachers and friends of mine by the time they are completed. Seeing the world as sacred and remembering my divine nature is the key to my joy and my art.
