art that inspires
I paint to express myself and my feelings of the unfathomable and profound beauty of the world. I paint to feel the flow of creative energy. The Muse speaks to me in the form of beauty, energy, and light. Painting is a mysterious process for me, full of magic. With painting I transcend the rational mind, act from my intuition, and step into the deeper self to find where the creative energy flows. I open myself up to not knowing what the next step is, to not box myself in with analytical thinking, and listen to my heart. While in the flow I'm basically playing and comfortable with not knowing. My intention is to access the subconscious and paint from there; I'm looking for something authentic and new. Of course we all stand on the shoulders of those who have come before - but for me it’s important to not just copy the ground I stand on, but to acknowledge my debt, and build on it in a new way. It's like building a thing that has no blueprint and there’s no reason to build it except that it's fun, cathartic, and feels like I'm fully alive when I'm in it. This is healing for me and also I believe it’s healing for those that are attracted to my work.
