Lately I've been thinking and experiencing how powerful the process of creating art can be in our lives. In truth, I'm not sure how I would have walked through some of the dark times life has dealt in the last few years since I began painting...That in itself is one of those things that you have to shake your head and realize, Someone far wiser than you, awoke within you a desire that led to the creative outlet that would take me through what was to come.
The first photo is but a small portion of a larger work, "Deep Waters" knives, paint and canvas took all that was raw and overwhelming and held it for me, allowing me to move through turbulent waters into a more peaceful flow.
It found a home right away, its essence spoke so strongly to the collector's spirit. There's nothing more satisfying that knowing a piece that was the embodiment of emotion for you the artist somehow translated itself to another upon viewing. Art is such a mystery and such a personal thing...
Work has begun as I pull together all that is needed for upcoming art fairs.
Dooryard Arts Festival, July 25, 9am-2pm Queen St. Woodstock, NB and
