Exhibition statement:
When I paint I am capturing moments in time, whether they be viewed with my eyes, sensed by my physical body, or felt in my heart and spirit. Often it is like two people communing with one another, only it’s me and the canvas. It becomes less of an object and I have a connection with the canvas and I’m grateful it’s there for me to impress something of myself on its surface.
Time could be looking back, as in longing for a person, a place or state of mind, and trying to create something of remembrance to feel that joy again, rest briefly in a state of peace, or even to process grief and anguish. Being in the present while painting often is very healing as it shuts out the immense amount of sensory inputs, external data, and slows the ions of thought bouncing around my mind. Once in a while if I’m lucky and trust my intuition a foreshadowing painting
will emerge ever so nonchalantly until one day in the future I look back and it all makes sense.
