ABOUT THE ARTWORK
From the series, Embracing Shadow, inspired by images from the Hubble telescope showing the mysteries of our universe. Cosmic nebulae formed from massive clouds of gases reflect light in varying wavelengths giving them fantastic color, all the while exposing the distant deep dark where no light escapes. Embracing Shadow is about accepting the deep darkness we see in ourselves and around us, for without the dark, we would not be able to see the light we carry within. The silver leaf is the magic of the mysteries. Expressing the ephemeral in a more visual way reflects the emotions that flow through my hands to the canvas. I can get the brushes and paint to mirror unseen thought as opposed to the metal showing literal movement. I respond to the nebulous, the intuitive as it flows through me. Painting allows me to escape the physical. Painting is signed on the back, deep gallery wrap-edges are painted a coordinating color.

The energy that exists in the visible as a wave crashing into the shore and the invisible as thought: its effect on us and how we affect it down to the quantum level. This is what I and my art are about. The pieces I create speak to hope, change, enlightenment, transforming and becoming better, weathering the storms and learning to swim within the chaos. They offer a way to embrace shadow and find the wisdom and the light within it. INSPIRATION & SERIES:: I am visually inspired by the rich colors of oceans, forests, and flowers . . . by the perfect curve in the shape of a wave, the winding tendrils of vines and how they connect to everything around them. I am intrigued by Space visually and metaphorically. Images from the Webb and Hubble telescopes utilizing UV and IR filters show us billions of galaxies and richly colored nebulae. Though separated by incomprehensible distances, they are the light within the darkness. For me, beacons of hope and possibility.
