“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life” Pablo Picasso
“Art is about changing what we see in our everyday lives and representing it in such a way that it gives us hope.” Kehinde Wiley
“Art is the highest form of hope” Gerrard Richter
I am a spiritual person with a strong interior life and art is my way of revealing that. Diving deep into the well of my soul and bringing up to the surface hope and joy, inspiration from the heart.
I have no idea what I am going to paint before I put the brush or palette knife onto the canvas, but I have a color that speaks to me and I begin with that. The inspiration flows, the image grows and the Spirit whispers to my spirit and the viewers spirit the things we need to hear and receive to lift us and encourage us and fill us with hope for the future.
