The process is the purpose. In essence, this sentiment is a true representation of my artistic process during the creation of this collection.

Each piece was instinctively created in stages using a combination of acrylic paints, inks and various mediums. Additionally, mixed media gel sticks and aerosol paint were deliberately incorporated to encourage a deeper exploration of each unique piece.

As I continue to experience the tides of life, the challenge of “pausing” has become increasingly central. Even just for a brief second, the conscious act of “catching my breath” has proven to be vital when attempting to look beyond the present distraction(s).

In this collection, the use of space was both thoughtful and intentional. My goal was to provide the viewer with an opportunity: to exhale and embrace the stillness of the present moment; explore the organic emotions beyond one’s initial reaction; and to cherish the peace experienced when fully engaged in this process.
