About the Item

Forest Series I is an atmospheric abstract representation of a forest in the mist. It was created by poured transparent layers of paint and linear elements of charcoal. My long-term involvement with mysticism, shamanism, meditation, dreamwork, Jungian Psychology and ritual, and my extensive international travels, are the source of my visionary images My paintings are metaphors for internal psychic and spiritual states of consciousness. My paintings are lyrical abstractions inspired by my connection to nature and its elements: form, movement, light, and what I perceive to be its essence – an energy that goes beyond visual appearance. My work is a serpentine flow, embodying poetic and rhythmic gestures of sensuous swirling lines, undulating edges and forms that merge into each other in waves of color and light. Everything is alive. My paintings express the primordial energy that exists within nature.
