I believe art is a sacred act, a path to spiritual and personal development.
As an abstract painter I choose my colours according to mood and what is speaking to me in the present moment. I remember vividly having a toothache and creating a bold red and black painting (which sold immediately) to express that mood. Painting is an act of presence, surrender and surprise.
When I look out my studio window in Spring my field of vision is filled with a landscape burgeoning with aliveness and every shade of green. The sense of joyful anticipation of warmer days fills my heart and my paintings echo those vibrant greens.
And when I crave calm I turn to soft pinks punctuated with white space and quiet marks.
Without question, we live in challenging times. It is my hope that my work will speak to you and help you create a personal sanctuary to help weather the storms.
The creative adventure is always reckless.
- Jospeh Campbell
It is my experience that art can awaken our inner wisdom, reflect back to us how we are living our lives and show us what we might need. Art is one of the skillful tools we can call upon on our personal path to inspire, transform and evolve as thoughtful humans.
There is so much in this universe that we simply don't understand. I believe that if a painting speaks to you, it is because somehow you have connected with the deeper layers of mystery that it came from.
I believe in the transformative power of art to inspire, heal and elevate your surroundings.
I hope my work can support your personal evolution and enjoyment of life. Maybe a small glance up from your desk will reinvigorate you or make you smile or just breathe.
Where Have They Gone?
My work is in homes from Norway and Scotland to the US, Canada and Singapore. It has appeared in Tricycle Magazine, Buddhadharma Magazine and on the cover of the book “Lotus Petals In The Snow." Two small works are in the Postal Art Collection of The National Museum of Canada.
