You may find me Dancing across my canvas, fasting for three days and 3 nights committing myself to a journey inside my own personal Artist Quest. Painting becomes a timeless journey. As I paint I pray and when I dance I play... Looking and listening to the dialogue that is unfolding before me asking me to be fully present. My method of painting is soulful and a deep intuitive process. As an artist, dancer and dreamer of life I can feel and see on deep kinesthetic and visual levels. I rarely ever know what I am going to create in the beginning. To me this is the beauty and practice of being in the moment. And such as life, just when I have a vision or a direction of where I am going next, sometimes nature comes in with it’s own rhythm changing and rearranging it’s course. What do I do with my own choreography of movement when life changes so rapidly? Do I hold onto the banks and stay at the edge of my resistance? Or do I surrender and let go only to trust in the natural flow of life. Once I allow myself to let go, there before me lies a journey where there is no time, and I will be painting for hours on end. Trusting in the movement of my brushes and the choice of colors that are being applied, I choose to surrender and allow what wants to birth through. When I am given an opportunity and a container to create, I can look inside where I cannot hide and see the mirror’s reflection of my creative process. This is my approach to the canvas where I can experience my own personal freedom and is a true Living Ceremony. The colour and movement is intended to lift your spirits and take you on a textral journey. Look Closely and you may find treasures of natural beauty along the way. Keep looking and see where the paintings guide you. There maybe a piece that speaks to you in a particular way...If so, LISTEN for they are medicine, a heARTchive of a journey taken and a dance remembered. For a personalized piece or commission painting, you may contact the Artist. |
