The Living Earth
The rhythmic energy of Nature isn't always obvious during our day-to-day routines. But when we quiet ourselves, slow down and appreciate the power of that magic, marvelous things can reveal themselves. My paintings search for that energy through color and brushwork, revealing the unseen so we can experience truly meaningful, even spiritual, connections within the natural world by bridging that gap between conscious and unconscious awareness of our connection with nature. This is done by working from a deep connection to the natural world-intuitively, expressively.
We only need to slow down, breathe it in, feel its energy. The Earth is calling to us "Notice me, see me, I am your home", during these times of climate change and society's challenges. The trees, the animals, the oceans, the air, speak to us though it is up to us to listen and act. Home is, after all, meant to be our refuge so it is up to us to take care of it. Appreciating our relationship with nature is imperative to ensuring our survival into the future. Our ancient ancestors understood this connection between humans and nature as profoundly magical.
By understanding our climate and its effects on people, we can uplift our communities and improve lives while being good stewards of the Earth.
