The Creative Path

My work has always been about process and exploration. Painting allows me to discover places that feel both familiar and unknown. Often I feel the work arrives out of nowhere as if sent from a place beyond my knowledge. I deeply trust in the messy process of creating, with all its inherent bumps and wrinkles, which helps me understand my need to continue on this creative path. In addition, I have added a small practice of sketchbook drawing whenever I can find a moment. I carry a bag of basic tools with me when I go somewhere to try and capture what I see.

When a piece begins to take on form and I feel a little shiver run down my spine, it is then that I understand the painting or drawing has taken on a life of its own.
