Elements
Artist Statement
In this Elements series I need to be brave enough to allow for chaos, for the brush strokes to be left alone. These paintings do not serve the bigger subject without being daring and authentic, even vulnerable. There are moments of suspicion, wondering if it is working and then permitting the marks to build and expanding them unencumbered and with abandon. On a good day, I can feel the trust and the joy; it is a day that flows with gratitude, challenge and decisions made. I surrender to the paint on canvas, allowing it to express the passion of identity.
