Description:
Using a mixture of acrylic, latex, and spray paints, my process is inspired in real time by creating to the rhythm of music. My process is less about control and more about allowing instinct to lead images to emerge organically.
Artist Statement:WHETHER IT BE THE BEATING OF A DRUM, THE SONG OF A BIRD, OR THE HORIZON BEFORE OUR EYES, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING IN OUR LIVES OR IN THE LIVES AROUND US THAT WE CAN DRAW INSPIRATION FROM...IN ANY ART FORM, WE SPEND YEARS SENDING MESSAGES OUT INTO THE WORLD AND PERFECTING OUR CRAFT, IN HOPES THAT WE CAN FALL INTO PERFECT HARMONY WITH THE EVER CHANGING STRUGGLES OF LIFE, BUT RARELY ARE WE EVER MET WITH A RESPONSE. WHAT MY OWN ART HAS TAUGHT ME IS THE VALUE OF LOVING ONESELF IN ORDER TO SEND LOVE TO THE WORLD AS A RESULT, AND THE VALUE OF PAINTING WHEN IT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE SOUL OR FROM A GUT FEELING. ALL ART CONTAINS A PIECE OF WHO WE ARE. THE MORE PIECES WE DISCOVER OF OURSELVES, THE BETTER WE CAN KNOW OURSELVES. ART FOR ME, IS A FORM OF THERAPY, AN ESCAPE FROM THE WORLD WHEN SOMETIMES THE WORLD HAS SEEMED TO BECOME DARK. PAINTING HELPS ME REDISCOVER THE LIGHT.I TRY TO REACH MY OWN SENSE OF INNER-PEACE OR NIRVANA... TO TOUCH INTO MY OWN SPIRITUALITY, WHILE ALSO REMEMBERING THE VALUE OF HAPPINESS AND PATIENCE WHILE CREATING.
