Pain is a dark place, behind that is my hope for the Light. A longing for the unspoken, the undescribed, the wind, the force...the Light. Healing. Restoration. Completion.
Where the light and the darkness collide. Where darkness prevails, the smallest light illuminates.
Images everywhere. What to do with them besides cutting them out and making a collage? What if life imitates art, imitates life? A drawing on the same surface as the image. Diaologue. Communication. Comparison.
I paint houses as a holding place for something deeper, where life is or a lack of life. Old run-down houses are appealing as they contain stories and history.
I am because you are. I try to find something in a person through observing, feeling, then combine that in my painting.
Seen through my own eyes. The windows to the soul. A genetic and emotional portrait of who I am and where I've been.
