evolving

This year started disheartened and uninspired by both the outer and my inner world. My work has been feeling formulaic. Beautiful yet hollow. Repetitive. I felt the intense need to shift something in myself, if not the world. And the powerlessness of the later. I pulled away from exhibitions, only participating in a few local group shows.

I am always drawn to the darkness, the dark places. The world now feels apathetic and grey, not enough contrast to find those dark places. Everything a broad smudge of intensities, awash. I needed a different view of it all. So I have shifted my personal creative journey to include an autumn of oil painting. Pushing my comfort barriers with the support of creative friends. I look forward to sharing these evolutions.

In the meantime enjoy this new website. Shop to open soon. Hopefully in time for the holidays.
