Leaves, feathers and branches. Clouds, bugs and stones... ordinary objects of mountain life become sacred artifacts when I carry them into the mysterious realm of creative process. What happens next is a contemplative art practice borne of deep listening, observation and surrender, I find silence and spaciousness expand in limitless ways when I do not become an obstacle and treat whatever arises as my path. My intention is to get out of the way so the paintings can to the extent possible, paint themselves.
