In my studio, the process of painting has evolved in its purpose. I paint to engage with my heart and find connections within memories and desires. Often, I see tender moments awaken and walks in rainforests emerge. Other times, I feel concerns and wishes morphing into pathways toward resolve. Painting for me, is a process of visiting another dimension of reality, where there are so many glorious sources of light, revealing dreams I wouldn’t otherwise have the pleasure to meet. I’m drawn to make, to experiment, to give a physical representation of my inner dialogue, appreciation for life, discoveries, and desires. My art hovers and forms within a state of wonder, as if playing in a lucid dream. It feels like I am made whole as a result of having methods to release energy, impulse, and awareness. Often windows, bridges, organic shapes, and forts emerge, and my awareness shifts. The more risk and spontaneity in my process, the more growth and bonding the experience produces. It is why I cannot judge my art; the primordial feeling cannot be explained or measured. I am interested in sharing the beauty and bliss that comes from setting our minds free from want and worry through time spent with nature. I believe every person has experienced a spiritual connection with our environment and can relate to the powerful effect it has had on their mindset, body, and memory. I would love for my art to bring forward these memories for people, reminding them of their place in our living world and their unique beauty and belonging within it.
