“Let me start out by saying that although my hand was the one who helped to bring
these images to canvas, I truly cannot take credit for it. I am just a vehicle, a channel.
These are the Works of Spirit, the Divine. And, no, I am not afraid of color. Color is
a form of light and I embrace light. I also embrace darkness. You can’t have one
without the other.
I have had many people say that they don’t know why but they are drawn to the
paintings again and again. I think it’s because it is their Soul that remembers,
recognizes, that space, that moment. These are Universal Works. We are all part of
that Divine Universe. There is no separation between any of us, between Spirit.
Science says we are all energy, and that under the law of conservation of energy, we all
end up getting recycled, right? So, in a way, we are all connected to everything in all
places, and in all times. I feel that each of these Works captures but a split second of
that Universal Memory, that Universal Energy.
I approach each painting with a sense of reverence, a sense of absolute gratitude for
being able to help manifest that which is trying to express itself in that moment. The
canvas is not mine, but belongs to that moment even before the first brush stroke hits
it.
I listen, I listen a lot, and watch to hear and see what it is trying to say. Sometimes the
message is clearer than others, but if I am patient it will always show me how to get
there.
Everyone feels the need to “box” and “label” art and all things they experience really.
It is something we have been doing since we were first developing as children. And as
we gain more experiences we constantly reclassify and deepen our understanding of
our world.
For example, the word “friend” probably means something different from you today
than it did when you were in third grade, and that definition deepened with each
experience you had with “friend.”
Well, people quickly box these works as “abstract,” but they aren’t really. A closer
label would be “expressionism.” For example, if someone were painting a bird in an
abstract way they would still be painting “bird.” But, under expressionism they might
paint the pure essence of “bird,” like “flight,” and suddenly within the painting,
although unintended, there would be countless birds all over the canvass. But still, the
term “expressionism” is limiting. As soon as you label anything, you limit it.
That is why these paintings are unique, and people are drawn to them without knowing
why. They cannot be boxed because they are expressions of something that is
absolutely limitless. And whether we realize it or not, our Souls all strive to reconnect
to that Limitlessness.”
