Seeds buried deep in the soil break open with new sprouts bursting forth. Glorious blooms transforming barren, empty terrain. New life is the promise that death is defeated by love's eternal life.

This composition of seeing a line connect edge to edge is so innately powerful, we feel we're standing and looking at the field before us as location. I stand in the same place as you'll be standing. Looking and asking "where is this taking me?" Inspiration comes from someplace boundary-less and deep within.

These abstract expressionistic works unfold intuitively and without planning as I lay down marks, color, or texture. Then step back and wait before responding to what I see. Working this way is very freeing. It also requires patience, and grace with myself. Learning not to force a work into a familiar or comfortable direction is difficult for me. But the reward is allowing feelings, urges, and inclinations from deep within to be translated into form.
