Rain Rhythms Painting

My art practice is a visual journal in progress. Each work refers to my lived experience; exploring what it means to be conscious in a material body. It’s not about making a fixed statement. As I paint in an intuitive way, I do so with an attitude of curiosity and receptivity toward what is stirring below the surface of sensory perception. Creative impulses inside me grow wildly - branching out in all directions. My art practice is rooted in the habit of cultivating ideas, and my attempt to make sense of them. The painting process becomes a tangible manifestation of this interior process, of adding and subtracting, one step forward, two back. Every painting is a conversation, idea, argument, or lament in progress. Nothing is fixed, everything is turning and folding in on itself, bobbing above and below the surface of consciousness, sometimes sinking, sometimes rising above.
