the way through Painting

When I begin, I have no idea how a painting will turn out. I start in an uninhibited manner, approaching the blank canvas with intuitive painting and drawing, piles of collage. Along the way, I take wrong turns, make mistakes, create ugliness, but I trust the process as I build up layers, moving toward chaos. The middle of the painting is the hardest part, when I have to make decisions but still don’t know where I’m going. I struggle with insecurity and doubt. Finally I forge ahead, finding new paths and eventually reaching a place I could not have predicted but must have been heading for all along, a place of beauty and energy and balance and movement. I find that I need to explore, to challenge myself, to go through this process again and again. I create chaos on my canvas which reflects both the chaos I see in the world and in my daily life. As I work, I discover that I can find my way through. The end result is meaningful not in spite of, but because of, the path I took to get there. In a time when we all feel stressed and uncertain and angry and despairing, I find meaning and beauty in this journey. I am reassured that we can find the way through. I hope that my work will bring joy and hope to the viewer, will help you see the beauty in the world.
