Spring Gesture Painting

I am an organic artist creating abstract art by listening to my intuition. It means I am trying to reach something fundamental and essential to us in our lives. My new series is about the elements of the soul...that with which we all have at birth. These are the ability to feel and express love, joy, peace, gratitude, strength, courage, and humility. These are common threads we share as humans and unites us all when we remember. How to express these elements lead me to think of the words and there letters (love, joy, etc.) as symbols of the elements (energy). For example, after meditation, I begin with the word Gratitude and paint it large, medium and small sizes, with different brushes, with different media until the words are almost entirely gone and a single design "word" appears as mostly colorful energy. I love the process and hope it reminds you of who you are: a spirit having a human experience.
