ARTIST statement!

..The Painting does not possess the painter.


Forms of ART is an Expression of thoughts, feelings, sense of Beauty


which the artist is engaged in while creating works of Art. Yet, the


artist is a member of a community, of a society, and of a civilization.


She/He is expressing their personal sense of participating in civilization's evolution.
We do not 'possess' the Art, because ART is already part of our culture. However, particular individuals have talents and gifts that can create an 'enhancement' of our particular culture, and multi-culture. We are are overjoyed when a our work can express feelings within the viewer. Art is a means of communicating to the individual or a group of individuals. Individual Works of Art does invoke a sense of 'Healing'!




My individual sense of Being an artist::::


I studied photography (1980) when I first began my creative sense of Self in being an artist. Photography taught me how to 'look', how to 'frame' an image, even how to 'let go' of my shyness into the world! Eventually, though, I really wanted to be a painter of colours and forms. In 1990, I began the Art of Painting! I met a fellow who gave me a tube of iridescent paint from which it can be mixed with other paints of colours. I was so impressed because the painting can change 'feelings' when the Sun shines at it at different times of the day. It meant that the painting is not a 'static' object. It 'moves' with the different 'timing' of 'light' shining upon it. It invokes different types of feelings and a way of 'looking' at it. Painting is also an expression of form in action. And 'action' can be felt through the brush strokes. Yet again, paintings can just be an expression of a particular thought invoking feelings. I paint with gratitude to all living beings, The Earth Mother, Sun, Sky, Wind, Fire, Water Beings, and of course, the human, animal, plant and mineral kingdoms.
