Walking in the Light
September 18 – October 6. 2024
About the Artwork:
My subjects are varied, but more often are depictions of nature; landscapes, florals and seascapes. Not seeking to perfectly render a scene or capture exact detail, but rather to capture the feeling and emotion. At the same time, I’m chasing beauty. I like to start a painting with no intention or plan, laying down colors, shapes and lines, responding in the moment. I will add layers, scrapping into the paint, until I start to see something take shape.
Often a landscape, sometimes a floral emerges. This is when I get excited and start to pull the image from the canvas, still trying not to think too much and allow it to flow without force. Art and the journey of creating reflects the journey of life.
For me it’s about trust. Learning to trust and accept what is and being fully in the moment, authentic and honest. It’s not even about the result, (although it’s lovely when I create something I love), for me it’s really about the bravery it takes to face a blank canvas, overcome my fear, and just paint.
