My paintings feel like murmurings of the subconscious. There is an entire universe that is wholly internal. That is the space I would like to explore.
It starts first in the mind, understanding and observing our thoughts. Planting seeds to grow into new perspectives. Then, the body. Feeling into where our emotions reside and how the energy moves through us or stagnates.
What if we thought of the physical self as a model for all matter and the mind as a model for all consciousness. There is so much to explore and reckon with and integrate just within our own selves.
Art has become my practice for finding inner peace. I am learning to cultivate this internal world and grow flowers and fruit for myself. I hope that seeing my work sets you on a path to tend to your own garden.
