'The Clearing' began yesterday - in the closet. The question asked for every single article of clothing, "Does it Bring Me Joy?' Then I moved to the kitchen, do I need three sets of salt and pepper shakers? No. And so it went, drawer to drawer... I'm not done yet - but, what did and does bring me joy are the things made by hand. The hand carved spoon my niece made at sleep away camp, the artwork that adorns my walls from fellow artist friends. So if the question begins there - it can continue throughout my day - does this bring me joy? So thanks Juna Bobby and Robin Giacomo who, got this ball rolling.

Balance Yoga Window Before
Balance Yoga Studio Window After Balance Yoga Wellness Center is a "high vibration" place - I'm so fortunate to have been asked to do a handstand figure on glass by the new ower Corinne Farrell. She, like her predecessor, Jen Ciarimboli appreciates the inclusion of fine art to add to any environment.

I am finding inspiration through my windows and daily romps in the woods with Eloise. I am going to do thirty three of them. Three across and eleven down - framed individually in white. Here are some so far.

Acrylic & Collage on Panel “Blue lines with and without shell" looks to the impermanence of things - what the ocean waves bring in and what it takes away. Always changing - never stagnant.

Acrylic on Panel The fork, knife and spoon has to do with food - our relationship with food - what we eat and how much can add or subtract vitality.

Acrylic & Collage on Panel The vertical lines are an uncurrent of this entire show - I see them everywhere and these pieces are my current “landscape” interpretation.

Acrylic on Canvas The conch shell emerging from the dark and into the light is almost like a figure or a butterfly metamorphosing into what it is meant to be.

Acrylic on Canvas Salt and pepper is a recurring theme over the years - It represents the light and the dark, the conscious and the unconscious - being awake or being asleep.

Oil on Panel The circles came after the conch shells - they represent a simplicity and acceptance and continuum of all that is.

Oil on Panel The idea of doing what you did as a child has interested me of late. Like swinging on a swing gives me a sense of timelessness or doing a cart wheel and turning my world upside down.

Oil on Panel This piece began more in the light being the mirror image to “More 1”. It has some of my ‘ten commandments’ written on it… More water, More connection, More laughter. I guess you really need to ask for what you want in order for the universe to deliver.

Oil on Panel This piece has gone through many transformations and layers - it represents my own transition from darkness into light. Sometimes it is a daily journey. I try not to question - just accept.

Ode to the abstract expressionist - Franz Kline - born and buried in Wilkes-Barre, Pa - he did large black and white masterpieces. Because he did, I can - and that’s how it works.

There is a swimmer in this painting, amongst numbers - swimming through and making it’s way - protected, guided and eternally loved.

And even though this safety pin in closed - it seems to know when to open, and it seems to be very content and peaced out in the field of red and orange and purple.

The open safety pin - Open is so much better then closed.

The fuchsia color in this painting is a new color for me - but I love it. It’s the perfect combination of red and blue. It shows squares with numbers and then a very thick white circle in oil paint. |
