This orange and yellow painting is very powerful to me - it represents all that is good and right - it is very, very positive.
The shell again surrounded with mark-making. I was at a residency and an older female artist said we don't have to know where mark-making comes from - it comes from a deep place. I never forgot that - speaks to the mystery of life.
Nature inspired these blue vertical lines - the long grasses down by the lake - half below water, half above - grounded yet free… as I wish to be.
I have two passions: moving and painting. Exerting my body through space by swimming, running, biking - I reach calm.
Squares in my work represent calendar time - the documenting of time. The circle obliterates time or squares. The circle is timeless.
Eloise - affectionately called 'Weez' is the zen master who lives with me.She is forever in the present moment. I watch her and I learn.
