My painting is a metaphor for my life emerging from my spiritual heartwork. Each day a fresh start to create through vibrant color and shape.
A few charcoal lines on house painted canvas start my process whether I am painting from nature or from my inner thoughts. I build up layers using acrylic paint, pastels, oil sticks and charcoal, then go back in again and push / pull until the painting is revealed. Intuition leads the way and my soul eventually connects with yours.
