Artist Statement
I am painting portals. My daughter calls them Sun Portals. I have discovered a medium that allows the process of paint application to slow me down, be ever so present, and be in meditation with it. There is a tension of colour, materiality and form which invites the viewer to pause, and feel into the vibration of their combined existence. Are these thresholds? On what side do I stand? What senses have been activated? I wish to create a felt sense with my portals. Each portal is created with a blessing, embedded in the brush strokes and in the mix of paint. Sun Portal (Let Us Dance) is a blessing for joy.
