STATEMENT
I need to be productive and completely present in all my endeavors, whether that is weeding a flower bed, going for a walk or painting. I live in a rich inner world guarding myself from external influences that are not deliberately chosen, so I spend much of my time alone.
I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing beats strong feelings and the natural elements. I go deeply into my feelings to find the essence of the energy, often symbolically reflected in the movements of the clouds. I can look at the sky for hours at a time – moving and changing shapes. The variations in colors, mist, density, lightness and darkness show both variation and continuity at the same time, elegantly depicting a human life.
I am exploring the immense diversity of mediums and techniques and when an emerging painting captures the essence of life’s inherent interconnectedness and ongoing transformation. I get a sense of peaceful completion.
