ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the colors of Greece from a recent trip...so many blues, underwater textures Painted with Gamblin Oils. Artwork has eyelet screws inserted and nylon wire attached and is ready to hang. Framing is not required. A thin layer of varnish using Gamblin Galkyd protects the artwork against dust. The artwork is signed on the back and accompanied with a certificate of authenticity. "I tend to use very liquedey paint, manipulating it with gravity and air. Moving the paint around, letting it flow into form feels like a natural process that I’m participating in and observing as it reveals, manifests a feeling or essence. The process allows for a flow of conversation between inner and outer states, where I can explore and express dimensional experience. The painting process is my ongoing exploration of that undefinable sea."

Painting is my way of connecting to spirit…inspiration comes from nature. Experiencing colors and textures when I’m out in nature hiking or by the ocean, and then painting those gives me a sense of belonging to something meaningful…the vibrancy of the colors resonates inside like a moving piece of music, forming an internal landscape, a garden of feeling from which to nourish. I tend to use very liquedey paint, manipulating it with movement, gravity, breath, air. Moving the paint around, letting it flow into different textures and shapes feels like a natural process that I’m participating in and observing as it reveals, manifests a feeling or essence.The process allows for a flow of conversation between inner and outer states, where I can explore and express a dimensional level of experience.The painting process is my ongoing exploration of that undefinable sea. About me and why I paint…I drew all the time growing up, and a painting course in college got me hooked on painting for life. I left my classical flutist career goals behind and never looked back (I still very much love listening to music). I continued to study at Academy of Art College, and after a foray into commercial art illustrating pet books, realized I really craved a deeper exploration. Completing an M.A. in Studio Arts in Arts & Consciousness at JFK University got me going on that path. After a hiatus when my children were very young, I began painting again, trying to balance family, my office job as an adventure travel specialist, and art. On my blissful art days, I continue to explore the transformative nature of painting, happily dwelling in that sublime place of color and texture.
