DESCRIPTION

The painting entitled "Between the Winds" imagines a world where winds blow consistently, except during the dawn of each day. At this time, the water waves stop to create a mirror-like surface that allows one into the depths of stillness to align with the soul through reflection. With each brushstroke, the ineffable soul transcends into a place of sacred beauty – like capturing the ephemeral light of a shooting star. Through the calm air, the buildings stand as if to synchronize the outer world with one’s inner light. After the sun has risen, the breeze begins to blow, and one is ready to sail through the winds of a world in motion.

FROM THE COLLECTION

A hieroglyph is a Greek word that means "sacred carvings". The paintings in this ECOSCRIT series build upon this meaning, as through my artistic process each painting brings forth sacred markings (carved onto paper) that recode the deep inner workings of nature's beauty. In this way, each painting translates nature's most profound and inner poetic beauty as a new hieroglyphic language that awakens and nurtures human enlightenment, by speaking directly to the soul. This new hieroglyphic soul-language that deciphers nature's deep poetic beauty is called ECOSCRIT.
