Flowered Face Painting

The thematic ideas behind my paintings, derive from an exploration of the mystical aspect of spirituality, the natural world, and the subconscious/dream state. I explore how texture and color reflects and transforms light. I use this fluctuation as a means of developing a concept of mystical and dream-like landscapes and beings. My paintings are a look into the subconscious mind by way of telling visual stories as if woven on a tapestry. My distinctive personal style emanates from creating each painting without references, but simply by beginning through automatic mark-making which allows my mind to wander an unfiltered organic environment
