Current Statement

 

The sustained act of painting is a meditative ritual in my practice, my intention is to provide a sensory experience for the viewer through the repetition of light and color, to stimulate the senses and offer the overwhelmed brain of modernity, a moment of solace, and an opportunity to connect with themselves so we may better connect with the deeper world around us, replacing the ritual of unconsciousness with the ritual of being.

 

With the understanding that humans are naturally drawn to light and vivid color, I create works that stimulate the senses and generate the sensory experience of after-images and auras, an ocular reaction to the vibrance of color and a healthy visual exercise to cultivate a state of mindfulness. Cultivating such sensations offers a gentle exit from the mental noise produced by the incessant stream of thinking. The best medicine for our collective unconsciousness is to become deeply rooted and connected to the present moment, giving us an opportunity to experience the transcendent dimension through conscious presence and to witness the flowering of our collective consciousness.
