Painting is a mirror of my deepest feelings, my opportunity to express and create beauty out of nothing. It soothes and comforts when the loud “chatter of the mind” gets in my way of seeing the beauty in life. Painting provides the quietness I need to once again connect with myself and be open to the wonders and passions of life.
It is a privilege to be able to sit in the comforts of the studio in my home, listening to the joyful music I love, and just paint! Most of the time, I have no idea where to start, which direction the color will take me or where the journey will lead me. I just start painting, “feel it” and let it evolve! It has become a favorite passion to imagine and experience the different colors next to one another as they fall upon my palate.
Painting is a place for personal growth for me. When painting doesn't feel like fun, or if I get too close to a painting, too attached to how it looks, I take a step back and give space to the project. I use that as a metaphor for life. It has also taught me to quiet the voices that speak of self doubt and the need to control. Each new piece has helped me trust the ebb and flow of the evolving painting, and in turn, to trust the ebb and flow of my evolving life.
