Breathe encompasses a wide range of ideas/interests, these works all celebrate the positive and uplifting experience of the elemental; a quality of light or sound, a particular time of day, an event, etc. or a feeling/mood I had during the making. 

Many of these paintings include painted, collaged Japanese Shoji paper and continue my exploration of the relationship between the firm-cut edges of paper and softer painted edges. Other paintings explore gesture and calligraphic markmaking.

 
“Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself” – Annie Leibovitz 


 
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” – Rumi
