Through the Room


Finally a large beautiful painting. This painting is strong and slightly dangerous while remaining calm.  It takes the viewer on a journey toward discovering their own inner harmony after traversing through a landscape of complex emotions.

Flower Receiving

I love this painting (don't I always say that?)

This is my newest work  -

I painted this some weeks ago and felt the pull of the lines and shapes. Before I knew it I found this flower being created. Possibly the fact that the middle of winter is surrounding me - I find the need to escape it by creating art from the internal, eternal spring.
Enjoy.

From The Mist

This is one from my series entitled empowerment cards. These are delightful cards I would use with my clients when I was giving meditation and painting classes.  I was inspired to share these with you today...

The message behind this one is "From the mist...what will you bring now to your life?" and the idea is about what we are bringing in. To be really cognicent of what we invite into our lives is this lovely point of power. 

Look at the card and let me know...what would you like to bring in?

Note: This weekend is our group studio show and my early birthday celebration...Stay tuned!

Day Thirteen - Breathless Light


Today we feature a work called Breathless Light. What I love about this work is that it holds a world of color underneath a layer of ambiguous white. Bold pallet knife statements of green, show the heart of the painting connecting with the bright new beginning begging to realized. It is symbolic of the sun rising over the past evening heralding a new start. 
This painting is a gift to you. In that I am only positing it for a bid. If you want this painting, simply email me with how much you would like to pay for it. Keep in mind that shipping will add $40.00 to the price.  But this is my way to say, thank you for all the support. Thank you for the love of my art. If this painting can come into your life and signal your new beginning, it would make my heart sing with joy. You deserve so much beauty in your life. 
Breathless Light.

Day Twelve Golden Mean



Originally the inspiration for the title of this painting was from the Griffen and Sabine trilogy. The heart of the story of Griffin and Sabine lies in their search for their own "golden mean"—the harmony of perfect balance. 

In ourselves we have such dualistic natures.  Often, especially for this artist,  life has lead to me discovering my own balance within myself. Art has been a huge catalyst in the success of this.

Author F. Suela summarizes that "The golden mean in philosophy, especially in Aristotelian philosophy, is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency. In Buddhism, this is referred to as the “middle way.” In mathematics, the golden mean is a concept which expresses the relationship of two parts of a whole with each other and with the whole."

This painting brings that desired vision of harmony into play as the viewer also attempts to realize the visual balance in the work as it reflects in their own self.
