My Art Is Rooted In Love

My art is rooted in Love. It’s inspired by nature, beauty and the spiritual experience but at the root of all that is love. God if you want. Which is pure love. Essence. Truth. It’s infinite and eternal. A never ending stream of energy that is available to us all at all times if we just say yes and engage in the flow. I paint from that place of love. I’ve shared in the past about a time when I was in grief from a deep loss and I couldn’t paint. That surprised me but the experience helped me to realize what I didn’t know before, that I paint, create, express from this place of love within me - my heart, my soul. And that it’s intended to expand and multiply. I’m working on a new collection of paintings that will take shape and form in the future, and that encompass some of these ideas. But for now I’ve been opening up my archives and making available some paintings that I’ve had in my own collection and have never shown before. Because the art only works if I share it. It’s like completing a circle. This process that I engage in when I paint and channel the creative spirit, essentially love, is meant to radiate out and be received. Creating in that flow when I am in a studio session and I lose myself and then ‘come back up’, is my favorite part of painting. That experience of spirit and oneness with all that is becomes imbued in the painting. It’s contained in the art. The painting has the power to transmit that energy. The painting becomes a vehicle for spiritual awakening. To raise the vibration of one who engages with the painting, observing it, sharing space with it, and it goes out from there. From one human to another, out in our world. Like a the rings that radiate out from a pebble dropped into the water of a still pond, the effect of the art ripples out to share that love that I made the paintings in and from - that awareness and experience of love eternal, The Great Reality of Life.
