The Evolution: "Interconnectedness" 2010

"Interconnectedness", 2010
acrylic, ink & photo transfer on canvas, 48" x 24"
$675

A picture of "Interconnectedness", 2009 is shown above. This painting was a spiritual work for me in which I surrendered to the flow of Energy/Inspiration. This piece evolved from a figure study I began in 2005. The mountains now cover a reclining woman who's shape is still discernible: legs, hip, dip of the waist, shoulders, head... this represents the connection of human, nature, cosmos... As I stared at this painting for a few months I realized that the Woman Figure must return to the foreground. You will see the completed painting at the top of this post, finished March 23, 2010.

barn wood frame
$250

This is one of my most recently completed paintings. Drips explode into new creations and forms. This painting began as a self portrait that I put away for a couple years.... I still think of it as a self portrait, evolved. As I paint, I've begun tapping into my higher source of inspiration, my light.
I finished this piece outside in the grass... notice the grass blade silhouettes remembered along the bottom.

"Split", 2009
acrylic on board, 13.75" x 21.25"
framed
$175

This is a piece I began in 2005 and revisited in 2009. The painting is done on masonite board that is enclosed in a wooden frame: the uncertain woman, Split. I've scratched off the paint in some spots with my finger nails and smoothed other places over with new layers of paint.

"Goddess", 2009
acrylic and photo transfer on canvas
36" x 24"
$425

This painting has evolved from something I began in 2006. It moved with me from NY to VT where the final layers of paint were added, in addition to the photo transfer of the dormant hydrangea in winter. I see this figure as the mother incubating life, the Goddess.

"Dream Light", 2008
oil on canvas, 14"x11"
$125

A recollection of a dream... A composition of soft colors, hints of images morphing into one another, evolving entities. Answers were illuminated by the Light, bringing me to the brink of understanding. I awoke, and was left with this memory.

"Silent Resistance" 2008
mixed media on canvas, 20"x16"
SOLD

I began this piece while living in a tent in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the time I was aiding in Hurricane Katrina relief: working long days, meeting amazing people, hearing devastating stories intertwined with those of hope, faith and recovery. I lived, showered and worked beside 50-150 people at any given time. This painting contains the layers of my time there, my return home to New York, and the move to my current residence in Vermont. This painting began as a poem, covered by paint splatters, plastered with ripped out pages of government distributed hurricane damage prevention booklets and became my own personal documentation between 2006 - 2008.
