ARTIST STATEMENT

​

In my paintings am idealizing the universal flower or leaf, seeing the leaf or flower as an icon, an object of contemplation and meditation.

 

Some of the flower paintings are designed using a circular mandala or labyrinth pattern, representing calm and wholeness for the psyche.

 

The linear sections within some of these paintings are like the lines of a musical composition, or lines of poetry. I am telling my story line by line, a story of the beauty I saw in a particular place and time.
