Color

  “It is not what you know about color but the way you see it and feel it that makes   its meaning important, because beautiful colors together resonate with your psyche and feed your soul.” – Gretchen Schauffler

Color is one of the elements in our lives that can change our perceptions of reality. No matter how complicated this world gets there is always the undeniable beauty of nature and its perfect color. I draw a lot of my inspiration for my paintings from nature because it is ever- changing and always fascinating to me. It is interesting to explore color’s connection, relationship and position in a natural environment and observe what makes it come alive. Our eyes are wired to see thousands of different color combinations in nature and our brains enjoy them as perfect. Look outside to nature and empower your life with the colors you love.

Dare to be Creative

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it; Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”-

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You are not creating alone or in a vacuum. Art is a collaboration between the artist and the soul, creative force, the divine, higher power or whatever you envision it to be. You would be amazed at what this alliance can do as long as you are willing to be the channel for creative expression.Train your heart to listen and be receptive to the suggestions of the higher power. Try not to censor your work, adjusting your spiritual satellite to listen to the clues of your collaborator. Be willing to take the risk of creativity and unleash an unanticipated masterpiece.

Dreams

“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.”
– Pamela Vaull Starr

Dreams historically have been catalysts for artists, writers, musicians, and even inventors. A great amount of my creativity I attribute to my dreams. Dreaming is often taken for granted in our society. Being borne of human consciousness and imagination, dreams provide an endless stream of ideas and inspiration that inform our creativity and then our artistic expression.
It is in our dreams that the imagination is at play and we have the capacity to conjure up incredible possibilities.
How much daydreaming have you allowed yourself lately? Capture your dreams and you may be surprised by what you discover.

The Art of Possibility

"The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities." -Vic Braden

We live in a world of infinite possibilities. Art is one medium that reveals the concept of possibility. The purpose of my paintings is to provoke thought in the viewer. By conveying creative energy onto canvas, the essence of my creative thoughts manifests and transfers to the imagination of the viewer. My paintings are like a net that captures the fish of creativity, then they are released on a canvas to be viewed by the world's eye.
