Painting Alchemy
From galaxies to flying insects, all matter arises out of infinite chords of vibrative frequencies. Through consciousness, we witness wave after wave of forms being created, forms being dissolved, in ever shifting, complex and evolving relationships. This is not a passive experience, but part of a dynamic process guiding us to reconnect to inner resources. A painting’s power is its capacity to elicit this at intuitive levels.
Light, color, shapes are pre-verbal resonances. Pure vibrations, they are basic simple elements complete and truthful in themselves. Yet through a wonderful alchemy they can organize and coalesce in a painting into a space conveying something essential to our well-being – an expansive empathetic presence.
Alchemy is transformation, a shift into a more elevated state. This capacity is important as societal overload makes it difficult to know what is authentic, making each life a journey of discovery. My paintings might be likened to a visual poetry – gestural movements, allusions, hints of the ineffable yielding a sense of time, space, emotional and dimensional transitions - expressed through myriad tonal resonances.
