NEW SERIES COMING SOON
Present Moment

“When you don't cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life that was lost a long time ago when humanity, instead of using thought, became possessed by thought.”― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

For over a decade, I have been on a path to becoming a more self aware person, and being able to live in and appreciate the present moment. A moment where I am not weighed down reliving the past or planning the future. A moment where I am not using thought to fill up my ego, but allowing myself to feel the emotions, letting them possess me by becoming immersed in the stillness that is the present.

I have been able to find these moments in the solace of painting, where ideas and thoughts take form through layers of paint and colour, regaining their newness, their freshness.  By methodically painting these ideas out, it allows me to revisit and reflect, truly allowing me to feel their impact as they flow out of my mind and onto the canvas.

The title of each piece is an idea, thought, or piece of wisdom I felt was important to reflect on for my personal growth.  I hope the viewer will feel the vulnerability, understanding, and sometimes resistance as I work through these concepts both internally and on the canvas, and possibly see their own consciousness and understanding in the work.
