About The Artwork

I paint in a style shown to me during an NDE (near-death experience). Some things are hard to explain even to one's self. I came away from my NDE (near-death experience) feeling wholly different and knowing things I couldn't express. This painting is about the struggle to integrate what I went through and return to ordinary life. In the aftermath of my NDE, I felt like I didn't belong here, hence the "otherworldliness" of the figure in this painting. The figure's right eye shines inner-knowing, while the right eye looks outward, showing confusion and struggle to pick up with everyday life. A long, slender stem and bulb extends from the bottom of the canvas to just under the left eye. The figure is unaware of its impending blossoming. The abstract shapes in the background show movement and expansion. Flowers symbolize growth. Thin lines in the circular floral area on the lower left emit energy and signify unseen forces at play. In the lower center of the canvas is an area of magenta with thick, interwoven, flowing pink lines that symbolize a rebalancing process happening, returning things to peaceful flow. This work comes ready to hang. The painting extends around the sides of the canvas. So, you only need to frame it if you want to.

I paint in a style shown to me during an NDE (near-death experience). With my acrylic paintings, I explore the inner landscapes of grief, healing, authenticity, and spirituality through portrait and nature subjects. We humans experience very little of the physical world because of the limitations of our senses. I aim to draw the viewer closer to the unseen interconnectedness of all things to consider life through a wider lens. I incorporate a sense of other-worldliness into my paintings to achieve a “more than meets the eye” experience. My paintings are rich in symbolism. In most of them, you will find “circles within circles. These represent portals, decision points, or potentiality. Flowers and plants draw the viewer back to the physical world we experience. They also represent growth and healing. Some paintings show multiple faces on one figure. These represent aspects of self or the masks we wear. Either way, they are about the struggle and desire to find and live out one’s authentic self. I don’t believe in “bad” or “negative” emotions. So, when choosing color palettes, I often treat lighter and more difficult topics with purposeful equanimity. This methodology applies particularly to portrait work. For other work, I match the color palette to work in concert with the mood or idea I want to convey.
