For me, Art is that place where feeling inspires the transformation of an experiential medium. A successful work of art will resonate with the quality that inspired it. My goal with art is to balance the emotion that inspires a work with the discipline of the medium chosen to carry its expression.
Balance is Beautiful.
So why paint? I paint to feel worthy of the beauty I perceive. I paint to express my highest aspirations, and the joy and pain of my life. I paint to feel rich. I paint because sometimes there’s an image I have to see. I paint to discover who I am, when I am, free.
Word.
Sometimes it is tough to be a good human. Living your potential, riding that edge, enriching the people around you, taking life personally, loving and being loved…growing within…the chaos. We don’t always get to know how we will respond in new situations. But isn’t that the point? Emotion enlivens our experience, makes it real; incites us to care enough to find the heights and depths within ourselves. And that is what we celebrate. Heroism is stepping up to the challenge and mystery of existence, the will to be sincere.
Genuine.
I find comfort in recognizing that I am OF nature, I am from here, ya’know? I am a pART of this larger process… a Human, an Earthling!
As such, I am growing, adapting, changing, moving, sometimes very rapidly and sometimes still,
when it is pARTicularly good,
1 forgets to consider 1self, and time.
