This blog is probably more for me than for anyone – a platform to process thoughts and ideas. I way to tell some of my stories through my art and hope that the words and pictures will at some point land on someone else eyes to help them find some clarify or at least know that our journeys are unique and equally important.
Most of my posts will attempt to encapsulate my journey through my paintings. Most of my paintings are for other people but its what I get to experience while I make them that’s priceless.
I feel like paying people instead of receiving payment for my art. They have no idea the gift they give me when I am invited to create a piece for their home.
no idea…
in fact neither did i until I was invited to do so.
March 2013 on a trip out West to visit family – my love for art was rekindled. With the backdrop of the mountains and my siblings calm spirits I was invited back into the realm of creativity.
I was not expecting to be called back to the canvas. I hadn’t touched a paint brush since 1997.
I picked up a pencil in March of 2013 and started to sketch – and I couldn’t stop. The pencil morphed into a brush and I’ve been painting ever since.
My math brain had a hard time understanding what was going on. The equations didn’t make any sense. What is this that has no exact answer or formulas to work with?
I look forward to reflecting on the paintings and sharing their stories – which in fact are my stories – little glimpses into my soul.
I hope my stories find you in a good place – and if they don’t I hope they help to move you to a better place.
A place where God so desperately wants us to be.
